As I lay with my head in your lap, camerado, The confession I made I resume -- what I said to you in the open air I resume: I know I am restless, and make others so; I know my words are weapons, full of danger, full of death; For I confront peace, security, and all the settled laws, to unsettle them; I am more resolute because all have denied me, than I could ever have been had all accepted me; I heed not, and have never heeded eiher experience, cautions, majorities, or ridicule; And the threat of what is called hell is little or nothing to me; And the lure of what is called heaven is little or nothing to me; Dear camerado! I confess I have urged you onward with me, and still urge you, without the least idea what is our destination, Or whether we shall be victorious, or utterly quelled and defeated.
