For him a number of coun­ tries have laws imposing a penalty for failiqg to comply with his civic obligation to cast his vote. In a sense, this is part of his duty as a citi­ zen to defend the state, the democratic state, which he may be required to perform. — V. G. Sinco. SALUTATION TO THE DAWN Look to this day For it is life, the very life of life. In its brief course Lie all the verities and realities of your existence; The bliss of growth The glory of action The splendor of beauty, For yesterday is but a dream And tomorrow is only a vision, But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness And every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore, to this day! Such is the salutation to the dawn. — Kalidasa. 4G Panorama
