YOZGAD XXIV: WAR THAT BEGINS IN MAN IN NATIONS ENDS
War that begins in Man in nations ends
To an appointed purpose. It is this:
That image of the evil in themselves
May grow to such proportionate extreme
As to affront with horror of their sin
The souls of unimaginative men.
Thus forced they see the purpose of a law
In which they act the whole in several parts,
Accused, accuser, witnesses and judge;
Plead the offence that they have suffered from;
Accuse themselves of what themselves have done;
Bear witness both to punishment and crime;
And from the judgment seat of their own deeds
Give sentence against witness, judge, and all.
