The histories which we have of the great tragedy give no idea of the general wretchedness, the squalid misery, which entered into every individual life in the region given up to the war. Where the armies camped the destruction was absolute.
It is art that makes life, makes interest, makes importance and I know of no substitute whatever for the force and beauty of its process.
