To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Dazed, we crouch behind an earthwork while the enemy creeps through the smoke. Suddenly they charge. We fire, but they surge on through the smoke. They mount the earthwork. We leap together ! Men scream hoarsely ! Musket butts crash ! Daggers plunge into quivering flesh ! Divine feeling ! Glorious patriotism ! The passing of this savage patriotism is inevitable. The whole course of nature is against it. The very his- tory of development will tell you that. Loyalty has never been an immutable th...ing. It has been a ceaseless and irresistible growth from the individual to the family, to the tribe, to the nation. The time for a world-patri- otism has come. Why should men limit their loyalty by a row of stones and trees that we call a boundary? Why are men patriots, anyway, except to save their privileges and their government ? The primitive patriot had no choice but to fight. He was put down in a little plot of cleared ground hemmed in by mighty forests, and made to hew out a home in a vast world of enemies.
