NB“Cannon killed feudalism. Ink will kill modern society

— — — “In every battle there comes a moment when

the bravest soldiers, after the greatest tension, feel inclined

to take to flight. This terror arises from a lack of confi-

some pretext, to return this confidence to them: the great

art consists in bringing this about” (pp. 79-80).
