Besides, Paris was quite close now, and the magnetic power of the great city was already making itself felt. The Parisians in the carriage could hardly keep still. Suddenly, after this dreary journey, and although it would have been difficult to explain why or how, hope was rekindled in spite of some more bad news we had learnt 204 THE MARNE TO THE AISNE 205 on the way, namely, that the Germans had reached Creil without opposition. It was not the strength of the entrenched camp of Paris, of its... garrison, nor of its heavy artillery which restored our confidence ; it was rather the instinctive faith of a child, who, having returned home, feels irresistible because there seems to be a sort of reassuring sympathy between himself and surrounding objects — even the elements. What again sent the blood coursing through our veins was the indescribable yet definite sensation caused by the presence of something immortal, of some- thing loved and revered. It was like a breath of life, like the comforting support of an invincible Personality, an all-powerful Divinity.
