A Thousand Books of Fame

There is no “Law” in heaven or earth that man most needs obey!

Take what you can, and all you can, and take it while you — may.

Let not the Jew-born Christ ideal unnerve you in the fight;

You have no 'rights' except alone the rights you win by Might.

There is no Justice, Right, nor Wrong, no Truth, no Good, no Evil;

There is no “Man's Immortal Soul,” no fiery fearsome Devil.

Life is a duel and the fittest only can succeed;

If you'd survive, go to, and put, some fitness in your deed,

This world is no Nirvana where joy-for-ever flows;

It is a gruesome butcher shop where dead lambs hang in rows.

Man is the most ferocious of all the beasts of prey;

He rangeth round the mountains to love and feast and slay;

He sails the stormy oceans, he gallops o'er the plains,

And sucks the very marrow-bones of captives held in chains.

Death endeth all for every man, for every “son of thunder”;

Then be a lion (not a “lamb”) and —DON’T BE TRAMPLED UNDER.

Ragnar Redbeard.
