The Nepalese believe “bloods of the braves make it free and immotile”. In Namibia, “land of the brave, freedom fight we have won. Glory to their bravery, whose blood waters our freedom.” Omanis want to “raise high to the sky, and with light we shall fill the universe”. Americans ask if we can see, “by the dawn’s early light, what so proudly we hail’d at the twilight’s last gleaming.”
