'Denn Patroklus liegt begraben, Und Thersites kommt zurück, his illustration is only half right. The Greek Thersites did not return to claim a pension." The dash of bitterness in this remark must not be taken too seriously.

Ja, der Krieg verschlingt die Besten. Still, when Schiller says in the poem just quoted, Ohne Wahl vertheilt die Gaben, Ohne Billigkeit das Glück, Denn Patroklus liegt begraben Und Thersites kommt zurück, his illustration is only half right.

But he has a uniform of the High Grade at home, so he must be the High Grade himself. Another group of his ideas refer to his race. He has been put on Ward's Island as a result of the great struggle between Christians and Israel. But Israelites are the head of the Fellowship Lodge, so all Christians must follow him, the patient. This is the explanation of "Da liegt der schwarze Hund begraben!"
