There may be some planet, whose social habits are different, where it might work well enough; but here it is not to be thought of except in poetry, of course, or novels. Of all human relations, the idea of such love is certainly the fittest for verse, therefore we have no choice; we must use it.
Except over a comparatively small area an army operating in the United States would meet with the same obstacles as did the soldiers of Cromwell and Turenne.
"He will give you nothing, good people, not even a glass of schnappes, I tell you candidly so keep the boat if you wish I will not say a word about it, except that it is lost. He is not likely to see it again. Besides, you can alter it, and paint it."

The English sat together, the French sat together; the Russians were apart; and the Americans in still another section. There was no real intermingling, no real camaraderie, except among the individual groups. There was much hand-shaking of course, and greetings and perfunctory politeness, but no genuine friendliness.
It is entirely nude, except for a cloak that hangs down from the left shoulder; in the left hand, it holds a globe; the right arm is extended.
The names of these I cannot pretend to give, except the monarch of them all, in size and majesty of flight, the albatross, of unsullied white, as its name implies the king of the southern ocean.
