Description
Christmas Card. The white background features a sketch of an angel holding a man and a woman in his hands. There is an eagle sitting on angel's shoulder and the sunrise behind all of characters. Underneath there are the words "The world that we must seek is one in which the creative spirit is alive, in which life is full of joy and hope, based more upon the impuls to constract than upon the desire to retain what we possess. It must be a world in which affection has free play, in which love has destroyed the instinct for domination, and cruelty and envy have been dispelled by hapiness. Such a world is possible; it waits only for men to wich to create it. The old world is passing away, burnt up in the fire of its own fierce passinos; and from its ashes will spring the new and younger world, full of fresh hope, with the light of morning in its eyes". Below that the name Bertrand Russell.
