Book Description
Excerpt from War-Time Nerves He whom a dream hath possessed knoweth no more of doubting, For mist and the blowing of winds and the mouthing of words he scorns; Not the sinuous speech of schools he hears, but a knightly shouting, And never comes darkness down, yet he greeteth a million morns. He whom a dream hath possessed knoweth no more of roaming; All roads and the flowing of waves and the speediest flight he knows, But wherever his feet are set, his soul is forever homing, And going, he comes, and coming, he heareth a call and goes. Shaemas O Sheel What is the war doing to the mind and heart; to the nerves of the Nation? I can answer only as one obliged to stay at home and who looks out from an obscure corner upon the great world conflict. It is possible that such a viewpoint may have its own special value and interest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
