“A German immersed in any civilization different from his own loses a weight equivalent in volume to the amount of intelligence he displaces.”

“But, where the road runs near the stream,
Oft through the trees they catch a glance
Of passing troops in the sun’s beam—
Pennon, and plume, and flashing lance!
Forth to the world those soldiers fare,
To life, to cities, and to war!”
