...nation fell upon hard days, for the bugle of Napoleon was loud in the land. What Russia and Austria could not do the Emperor of France seemed all too easily able to bring about. The Prussian flag lay furled as the world stared on at Prenzlau, Ratkau and Auerstadt. A handful of men stormed over Europe shouting "The Old Guard neither dies nor surrenders," and Prussia shivered in the Baltic fogs.
