I have thought occasionally since of that editorial and of the thousands of sedentary fire-eaters and hate-mongers like the writer of it men who live forever in a cloud of words, bounce from one nervous reaction to another without ever touching the ground, and, rejoicing in their eloquence, go down from their comfortable breakfasts to their comfortable offices morning after morning and demand slaughter, annihilation, heaven knows what not men who could not endure for ten minutes that small part of war which any frail girl of a trained nurse endures hour after hour every morning as part of the day's work.
Where would it end if I were to count up the heroes of English intellect whose names are written in letters of gold in humanity's great book?" It is well to conclude this chapter of hate with two quotations which breathe respect. The author does not believe that German hate will be so long-enduring as the hate-mongers would have us think.
