Excerpt from When I Come Back What sort of man would it be, then, who was capable of writing, from the Ar gonne in October, the odd sentence quoted above? A dull man, perhaps, doomed to pass unstirred through stupendous scenes? Or a dumb man seeing and feel ing much, it may be, but unequal even to attempting the swamps of exposition? Or perhaps this was a born soldier, one of that stark company who, frightened and unhappy in a drawing-room, find the natu ralness and ease of life released to them under the thunder of the guns? Or possibly, again, the quoted sentence is only a phrase, and other passages will pipe to a different tune?
