Instead of the dazzling snow and
glittering ice and lurid flames that
were the colors of ruthless warfare
in a period long gone, we see today
the quiet shades of leaf and fern
moss, in dells of green twilight,
and we note the ruddy hue of
pumice desert and the constant
rocks, in pale lavender, fawn, sil-
ver gray and ashes of roses, and
delicacy,

For nature, as with us, warfare
sometimes may be the way to true
peace. Cataclysmic might and vio­
lence incredible, by human stand­
ards, precede the serenity of moun­
tain and lake that we hold dear.
Cosmic upheavals in the ocean lied
bring into being those glamorous
islands that adorn the sea.
This, surely, is the lesson of
Crater Lake, especially for today’s
soldier as he enters a war so stu­
pendous that it may take the best
years of his life and carry him to
some remote region of a globe
whirling incessantly on its hazard­
ous path among the stars.
