...only after long years of experimentation in technical devices and sonorous nothings. Dante, Chaucer, Shakespeare, Tennyson,--nearly all, indeed, who have most completely mastered the literary art,--have had their periods of aureate preciousness beside which anything in the undergraduate poetry of the present pales into insignificance. Little is ever gained by protests against too much attention to technic.

But that system (which the people as a whole voted for several years ago) in compelling responsibility, made the great mass of men think and fight with a finer spirit than thoughtless men can ever know. It was not referendum that made them think; it was the realization of their individual responsibility in defending their country...
