At Bonn young Marx felt as if a blaze of light had flashed before him; and from that moment his studies, his companions, and the ambitions that he had hitherto cherished all seemed flat and stale.

But the German losses had been great. The Westphalen had been sunk. So had the Pommern and the Freiderich.
