And tell sad stories of the death of kings:
How some have been deposed; some slain in war;
Some haunted by the ghosts they have deposed;
Some poison&#8217;d by their wives; some sleeping kill&#8217;d.

		<description><![CDATA[Because I could never feel inside of myself, what it means to be Hungarian, I have asked hundreds of Hungarians, in the East, West, North, and South, of the Country, “What does it mean to be Hungarian?” 
People from every nation have strong feelings about what it means to belong to their land and people. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How does humanism reveal itself in Hungarian history and civilization?
Hungarians have always been known for their thirst for knowledge: an important humanistic attribute. Their attitude towards foreign cultures has always been that of sympathetic curiosity: they accepted their inspiration and adapted them to their own tastes. 
The proverbial Hungarian hospitality is akin to this cultural [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hungarians like calling themselves the &#8220;Defenders of Christian Europe’ for having fought the eastern and southern pagan aggressors for a thousand years.
Such religious altruism is hardly an immanent characteristic of these formerly pagan nomads. Nor did we choose this role out of proselyte fervor in order to &#8220;expiate&#8221; former pagan aggressiveness. This task was rather [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The proverbial Magyar dissension and lack of perseverance are probably the legacy of those Turkic tribes which frequently formed short-lived nomadic empires bent on the conquest of the world and soon in collapse for no apparent reason. The dreamy, unrealistic optimism, the expectation of miracles is, perhaps, a tradition handed over by the stargazing poets [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Hungarians who settled in the Carpathian basin represented a composite, multi-racial, multi-cultural and multilingual nation. This complexity was the result of prolonged contacts of varying intensity with many European and Asian races and cultures during the centuries of the Hungarian migrations.
Those tribal Hungarians had also come under the influence of several ephemeral nomadic &#8220;empires&#8221; [...]]]></description>
