DREAMER OF
THE DAY
FRANCIS PARKER YQCKEY AND THE
POSTWAR FASCIST INTERNATIONAL
BY KEVIN C22&AN
All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream
by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in
the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers
of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their
dream with open eyes, to make it possible.
