Hence an old captain, when there was nothing else to do, would issue the order to scour the anchor  (Was Quotes) One, two and many: flesh had made him blind, flesh had one pleasure only in the act, flesh set one purpose only in the mind - triumph of flesh and afterwards to find still those same terrors wherewith flesh was racked  (Was Quotes) His wiles were witty and his fame far known, every king's daughter sought him for her own, yet he was nothing to be won or lost. All lands to him were Ithaca: love-tossed he loathed the fraud, yet would not bed alone  (Was Quotes) War was return of Earth to ugly Earth, war was foundering of sublimities, extinction of each happy art and faith by which the world had still kept head in air  (Was Quotes) If I were a young man and young was my lily, a smart girl, a bold young man, both of us silly. And though from time before I knew she'd stab me with pain, though well I knew she'd not be true, i'd love her again  (Was Quotes) Patriotism, in the trenches, was too remote a sentiment, and at once rejected as fit only for civilians, or prisoners.

It would have been difficult to remain religious in the trenches even if one had survived the irreligion of the training battalion at home  (Was Quotes) England looked strange to us returned soldiers.
