truth his constant habit. And search has always been the strongest agent in uncovering unknown truths; sober, disinterested search is what creates for people a scholarly atmosphere in which ideas and pens compete, and from which good and understanding come forth.
Gentlemen, ladies:
Space does not allow me to say more of Said Akl than I have said. Let it suffice me to say to my dear friend: be whom you will, and seek the truth however you wish; argue and struggle and defend your view and your creed among your peers of educated youth in the lofty sporting spirit you have accustomed us to. For our dear Lebanon has never been in greater need of you and of men like you, men
of thought and conviction, that it may remain forever and always the cradle of learning and the homeland of knowledge.

Then comes Said's turn. With his great art he brings before us the life of the greatest empress the world has known; he carries us with Elissa the Tyrian aboard a sailing ship and sets about shaking off the dust of tens of hundreds of years, recounting to us the tragedy of this beautiful princess on the day her husband was killed: she left the glory of the palaces to her murdering, criminal brother and plunged into that adventure without peer — the adventure of founding a new kingdom beyond the seas, which afterward became an empire that robbed the caesars of Rome of their sleep.
I shall not tell you, my reader, what Said Akl told us of Elissa's beauty and of her genius, which brought forth armies and fleets, factories and shops, legal constitutions and parliamentary assemblies — "truly and in fact".... Nor can I do justice to her martyrdom and her choosing death as a letter that releases a mighty will — a will that traced for the women and men of the earth, one and all, the law of unassailable liberty in the hour she cried out, throwing herself into the flames:
"If victory has escaped you, then die where you stand!"
O Sitt, Madame Tarcha — we charge you to let us hear Said Akl's lecture a second time!
