Letters and Diary of Alan Seeger (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

Excerpt from Letters and Diary of Alan Seeger

Hour of battle, for which he longs. Even when cramped in the trenches, this lover of beauty can take keen pleasure in an occasional glimpse of a picturesque vista through the c'réneaux; nor, when his endurance is taxed to the utmost to hold out until the end of a march that lays low many a stronger man among his comrades, does he fail to remember and record the sunlit verdure of the meadows bordering the dusty road along which he toils, with heavy burden, weary almost to the point of dropping. In the lonely vigils of sentry duty, during the hours between night and dawn, when the most cou rageous feel spirit and hope at the lowest ebb, he can find consolation in a kind of comrade ship with the stars.
