The French city ... had represented the opium stage of the addiction. With the Americans had begun the heroin phase.”

“Farewell the neighing steed and the shrill trump,
The spirit-stirring drum, th’ ear-piercing fife,
The royal banner and all quality,
Pride, pomp, and circumstance of glorious war!”
