"The Cloud" by Sartell Prentice is an early 20th-century patriotic call to arms, delivered during the height of World War I. It uses a powerful image to explore the growing dangers of war and the weight of tyranny threatening to eclipse freedom. The story urges Americans to steel themselves for battle, defending not only their nation but also the universal principles of freedom and justice. It is set against a backdrop of global conflict, emphasizing the atrocities committed abroad and the urgent need for free nations to band together. To face the encroaching darkness, citizens are asked to embrace their responsibilities, from fighting on the front lines to supporting humanitarian efforts, with every contribution acting as a united front against any division or manipulation. The speech seeks to ignite a unified dedication to the ideals of liberty, solidifying a collective resolve to stand against the rising tide of oppression.
