So the family is quite broken up, and now the home is being destroyed and the occupants carried off, so that altogether the chances of ever renewing the old life again in the old place seem very remote indeed.

No warrior of common sense would think of renewing hostilities at such a time their young men slain, their resources exhausted. Hintza had better bide his time.

The plowman leaves his plow, and in long strides approaches the life- renewing spot, while his team, that cannot follow, look wistfully after him. Here the cattle love to pass the heat of the day, and hither come the birds to wash themselves and make their toilets. Indeed, a spring is always an oasis in the desert of the fields. It is a creative and generative centre.
To this messenger, when speaking of the chances for renewing hostilities, Napoleon exclaimed in undisguised horror, "Blood, blood, always blood!"
