“白鳥は
哀しからずや
空の青
海のあをにも
染まずただよふ
Shiratori wa
kanashikarazu ya
Sora no ao
umi no ao ni mo
somazu tadayou
Does not a white bird
Feel within her heart forlorn?
The blue of the sky
The blue of the sea. Neither
Stains her, between them she floats.”

The national element moved from the realm of form to the realm of content; it became what was most central and essential, turning the socialist element into a mere wrapping, a verbal husk, an empty shell. Thus was made manifest, with tragic clarity, a sacred law of life: Human freedom stands above everything. There is no end in the world for the sake of which it is permissible to sacrifice human freedom.”
