TESTO DEL LIED

"I saw a mass . . ."
di John Woolman (1720-1772)

. . . I saw a mass of matter of a dull gloomy color . . .
and was informed that this mass was human beings
in as great misery as they could be, and live,
and that I was mixed in with them,
and henceforth I might not consider myself
as a distinct or separate being.
