१८५७ का स्वातन्त्र्य समर (वीर विनायक दामोदर सावरकर - अंग्रेजों द्वारा छपने से पूर्व प्रतिबन्धित महाग्रन्थ)

patience, forget not there is a concealed fire, which, if it
bursts forth, can consume the whole world ! ” O world !
Our India has certainly patience as its prominent feature ;
but do not, on that account, take undue advantage of it
for within her heart, whose treasure is all-forbearing calm-
ness, resides concealed, the terrible fire of vengeance too.
Hast thou ever beheld the third eye of Shankar ? That is
calmness itself while it is closed ; but from it can issue the
flames which can reduce the whole universe to ashes ! Hast
thou ever beheld a volcano ! Apparently it is clothed with
soft green vegetation ; but let it once open its jaws, and
then all sides will begin to pour forth boiling lava. Like
unto that this living volcano of Hindusthan, fierce as the
third eye of Shankar, has begun to boil. Terrible streams
of lava in its interior are bubbling up tumultuously.
Dangerous mixtures of explosive chemicals are being
formed, and the spark of the love of liberty has fallen on
it. Let Tyranny take heed when it is not yet too late !
Neglect it in the least, and a thunderous explosion would
teach insolent Tyranny what a volcanic vengeance really
means !
