Giuseppe MazziniInsurrection: Insurrection as soon as circumstances allow: insurrection, strenuous, ubiquitous: the insurrection of the masses: the holy war of the oppressed: the republic to make republicans: the people in action to initiate progress.

Let it, like the Nile, flood all the country that it is destined to make fertile.
