The Metternich System
Like Metternich We seem to be shoring up crumbling institutions Institutions that have no use for us: Heavy-lipped Habsburgs, an ossified Church
Like Metternich We ask if the revolutionaries have permission To ****** each other for the Goddess Reason While princes and oligarchs flee for their lives
Like Metternich We wonder if Napoleon won after all
