The Eastern Question

Title:     The Eastern Question
Author: Ambrose Bierce [More Titles by Bierce]

Looking across the line, the Grecian said:
"This border I will stain a Turkey red."
The Moslem smiled securely and replied:
"No Greek has ever for his country dyed."
While thus each patriot guarded his frontier,
The Powers stole all the country in his rear.

[The end]
