One o f the most striking com
ments on the war is that o f Har
old Begbie, written for the Lon
don Times a few hours a fter the
declaration o f war:
“ Honor may call on us to fight,
self-preservation may force us
into the slaughter house; but let
us wear on our sleeves the crepe
o f mourning for a civilization
that had the promise o f joy, and
strike our enemy without a hic-
cop or a curse.
N ever shall we
know again what is now perish
ing.
And we shall want all
our strength for “ Tom orrow.”
“ This war means the sudden
stopping o f the clock which we
moderns have regulated not only
by our meals, not only our jour
neys, but habits o f our minds.
The big stick o f brutal force has
suddenly been thrust into the
delicate and exquisite mechanism
o f civilization. The wheels cease
turning, the hands are arrested,
and the peaceful, friendly and
most fam iliar tick-tack o f our
human existence dies into a si
lence not yet broken by the clan
gor o f the guns, the groans o f
the dying and the noise o f falling
thrones.
Already, now at this
moment, civilization stops—stops
dead.”
The High School Body organ
