Fate\u003cbr\u003ealone saw the meaning of the web it wove, the might of it, and its place\u003cbr\u003ein the making of a world's history. Men thought but little of either web\u003cbr\u003eor weaving, calling them by other names and lighter ones, for the time\u003cbr\u003eunconscious of the strength of the thread thrown across thousands of\u003cbr\u003emiles of leaping, heaving, grey or blue ocean.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFate and Life planned the weaving, and it seemed mere circumstance\u003cbr\u003ewhich guided the Shuttle to and fro between two worlds divided by a gulf\u003cbr\u003ebroader and deeper than the thousands of miles of salt, fierce sea--the\u003cbr\u003egulf of a bitter quarrel deepened by hatred and the shedding of\u003cbr\u003ebrothers' blood. Between the two worlds of East and West there was no\u003cbr\u003ewill to draw nearer. Each held apart. Those who had rebelled against\u003cbr\u003ethat which their souls called tyranny, having struggled madly and\u003cbr\u003eshed blood in tearing themselves free, turned stern backs upon their\u003cbr\u003eunconquered enemies, broke all cords that bound them to the past,\u003cbr\u003eflinging off ties of name, kinship and rank, beginning with fierce\u003cbr\u003edisdain a new life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThose who, being rebelled against, found the rebels too passionate\u003cbr\u003ein their determination and too desperate in their defence of their\u003cbr\u003estrongholds to be less than unconquerable, sailed back haughtily to the\u003cbr\u003eworld which seemed so far the greater power. Plunging into new battles,\u003cbr\u003ethey added new conquests and splendour to their land, looking back with\u003cbr\u003esomething of contempt to the half-savage West left to build its own\u003cbr\u003ecivilisation without other aid than the strength of its own strong right\u003cbr\u003ehand and strong uncultured brain.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47145638756592,"sku":"2940013411470","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013411470_p0.jpg?v=1763580955","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013411470","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
