Book excerpt: Excerpt from Civilization 1914-1917 A great brow, almost graceful in design, an expression at once profound and children, a dimpled chin, a proud mustache, a bitter gaiety about the mouth - I shall recollect you, face of France, even though it is only for the single second that I saw you, in the flare of a match. The train that went from Chalons to Sainte-Menehould, that autumn night, was on the way up again, with all lights extinguished. It was in 1916. The face of Champagne, calm just then, was sleeping at our left, the sleep of the craters, a sleep full of nightmares, sudden starts, and flashes of lightning.
