Epigraph

Ill fares the land, to hastening ills a prey,
Where wealth accumulates, and men decay;
Princes and lords may flourish, or may fade;
A breath can make them, as a breath has made.
But a bold peasantry, their country's pride,
When once destroyed, can never be supplied.

Dedication

[None]

First words

One can read THE DESERTED VILLAGE for its firm hold on the commonplaces of human behaviour and for its ethical and moral purpose.
