"I've been wondering what I did here for nine years, unconscious of this wonderful drama of love and shame, joy and sorrow about me. But what did he mean by an army of cripples greater than the havoc of war?" "Victims of machinery. It's incredible to those who do not come in contact with it.
It was no heavier I think though of much different complexion than the list Captain Swope had planned. As for wounded God's truth, the Golden Bough was manned by a crew of cripples for weeks after. Lynch had wrought terribly, there on the main deck broken pates, broken fingers, a cracked wrist, a broken foot, and three men wounded, though not seriously, by Swope's and Connolly's shots.
Arnault, Le Boeuf, Ladmirault, Morris, Leflo, and many another in its ranks! The army left Constantine in two detachments. I returned with the second, which escorted the general in command, who had fallen sick, and an enormous convoy of fever patients and cripples of all sorts. It was a dreary journey back, for the column was decimated by cholera, and the road was strewed with corpses.
As Ruth came around in front of the bench, the Fuzzies gave her an ovation; they remembered and liked her. Gus Brannhard was gripping his arm and saying: "Oh, brother! This is it, Jack; it's all over but shooting the cripples!" Lieutenant j.g.
An army thus attained would be less mobile than a colony of cripples. Picture for a moment such a battle as the great German attack of March, 1918 millions of men urged forward from fixed positions under highly centralised control they advance, say, two or three miles beyond this control and are largely dependent on local initiative for the attack.
I went first to-day into the Townley Gallery, and so along through all the ancient sculpture, and was glad to find myself able to sympathize more than heretofore with the forms of grace and beauty which are preserved there, poor, maimed immortalities as they are, headless and legless trunks, godlike cripples, faces beautiful and broken-nosed, heroic shapes which have stood so long, or lain prostrate so long, in the open air, that even the atmosphere of Greece has almost dissolved the external layer of the marble; and yet, however much they may be worn away, or battered and shattered, the grace and nobility seem as deep in them as the very heart of the stone.
And here are twisted serpents; and stately swans, with answering curves in their bowed necks, as if they had snake's blood under their white feathers; and grave, high-shouldered herons, standing on one foot like cripples, and looking at life round them with the cold stare of monumental effigies. A very odd page indeed!
Come and dine with me at the Club on Saturday." That was the note. After a few days he received the following answer, dated from the Bull at Willingford. Why on earth should Chiltern be staying at the Bull at Willingford in May? The old Shop at W , Friday. I can't dine with you, because I am down here, looking after the cripples, and writing a sporting novel.
From our point of view, your wars, while of course very foolish, were comparatively humane and altogether petty exhibitions as contrasted with the fratricidal economic struggle. In the wars only men took part strong, selected men, comprising but a very small part of the total population. There were no women, no children, no old people, no cripples allowed to go to war.
The arrangement was concluded to the mutual satisfaction of the Petersens and myself, to say nothing of that of Tony, Matty, as usual, showing no sign either of pleasure or the contrary. There was no time lost in settling the cripples in their new quarters, so superior in all respects to any they had ever enjoyed before.
