"Der Bahn, der kühnen, folgen wir,
Die uns geführt Lassalle."
Such is the Marseillaise the Social Democrats of Germany sing, as they
troop out when the police break up their meetings.
This Lassalle, whose bold lead they profess to follow, lies at rest in
the Jewish cemetery of his native Breslau under the simple epitaph
"Thinker and Fighter," and at his death the extraordinary popular
manifestations seemed to inaugurate the cult of a modern Messiah--the
Saviour of the People.
