Excerpt from The White Flame of France
Not sad, then, the roads; but no longer sym bolie of a gay, peace-loving people. As I wan dered along that Aisne road, looking at some abandoned trenches, now already green again and harmless as ditches, I tried to forget the war or at least to believe that some day all the wounds of France will be healed, like those raw gashes Of earth where, such a short time since, good men died and climbed quickly to God.
But the road would not let me forget the war. Along it came, first of all some wagons bearing materials for repairing the trenches, stakes and trench-mats, and logs. Then came two or three kitchens, their square tops shining, smoke com ing from their stove-pipes. They look competent and fussy, reminding one somehow Of a capable, energetic housewife who cannot give service with out a strong flavor Of egotism. After an interval came a group of civilians in black. They looked curiously at the stranger, bowing, gravely smiling. There is not much laughter now in France.
