A Worker Reads History
- Bertolt Brecht
Who built the seven gates of Thebes ? The books are filled with names of kings . Was it the kings who hauled the craggy blocks of stone ? And Babylon , so many times destroyed . Who built the city up each time ? In which of Lima ’ s houses , That city glittering with gold , lived those who built it ? In the evening when the Chinese wall was finished Where did the masons go ? Imperial Rome Is full of arcs of triumph . Who reared them up ? Over whom Did the Caesars triumph ? Byzantium lives in song . Were all her dwellings palaces ? And even in Atlantis of the legend The night the seas rushed in , The drowning men still bellowed for their slaves . Young Alexander conquered India . He alone ? Caesar beat the Gauls . Was there not even a cook in his army ? Phillip of Spain wept as his fleet was sunk and destroyed . Were there no other tears ? Frederick the Greek triumphed in the Seven Years War . Who triumphed with him ? Each page a victory At whose expense the victory ball ? Every ten years a great man , Who paid the piper ? So many particulars . So many questions .
