MORGAN, CHARLES. - The River Line. A Play.

London: Macmillan & Co Ltd, 1952. 1st edition.

Where does our responsibility lie? With what weapons in what spirit are we to resist? How shall we live in an age of violence? And if, not shirking action but seeking interior quiet in the midst of it, we ourselves fall into violent error, how shall we be absolved?"
