They will make it go away no doubt.
Have no doubt it is fear in the land.For what can men do when so many have grown lawless?
Who can enjoy the lovely land, who can enjoy seventy years, and the sun that pours down on the earth, when there is fear in the heart?
Who can lie peacefully abed, while the darkness holds some secret?
There are voices crying what must be done, a hundred, a thousand voices. But what do they help if one seeks counsel, for one cries this, and one cries that, and another cries something that is neither this nor that.
-- Alan Paton, Cry The Beloved Country, 1949
