Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Creed of Constantine: Or the World Needs a New Religion
HE tradition of a once Golden Age has been almost universal. The race memory of a time when the earth was owned in common has, through all the various social systems that have cursed mankind with class-rule, painted pictures of happy days when the world was young. Of the tradition of those days Ovid has sung The Golden Age was first, when man, yet new, No rule but uncorrupted reason knew, And, with a native bent did good pursue. Unforced by punishment, unawed by fear, His words were simple, and his soul sincere; Needless was written law where none oppressed; The law of man was written in his breast; No suppliant crowds before the judge appeared, N o court erected yet, nor cause was heard, But all was safe; for conscience was their guard. At a: No walls were yet, nor fence, nor moat, nor mound, Nor drum was heard, nor trumpet's angry sound; Nor swords were forged; but, void of care and crime, The soft creation slept away their time.
