Explore "The Moment has Arrived when the Arrow Must Leave the Bow or the Cord will Break!" by Benito Mussolini on Textopian.
Speech delivered at Naples, 26th October 1922.
At this, the final stage of the pilgrimage of the ever-swelling ranks of Italian youth, where the first trench is dug in preparation for the imminent assault of the "black shirts," Mussolini in the morning, as politician, hurls his vehement reproach against "the three black souls," the ministerial exponents of anti-Fascista reaction. In the afternoon he shows himself in the guise of a warrior, and, wearing the colours of Rome on his breast, contemplates thoughtfully his fifty thousand faithful crusaders in Piazza Plebiscito, who shout with one insistent voice, "To Rome! To Rome!"
