To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Her unyielding rectitude urged 6 her to ask for the assent of her mighty Allies, which assent was denied, because it is written in this war that we, champions and victims of our ideals, will not allow a speck of dust on our ermine. So again, for the third time, Serbia was seen to sacrifice herself on the immaculate altar. Straight- way, at the trysted hour, the brigands, re-equipped, rushed forward from three points of the horizon, enveloping her : Austria and Germany, arm in arm, supporting mu...tually their tottering weight, with pockets crammed full of huge guns and their mouths full of noisome gases, while, in the rear, crafty Bulgaria dealt into Serbia's back the un- erring stab of her knife. Desperate struggle this time, in which heroism grew appalling in its aspiration after nothing but Death ; in which Right exulted in being crushed and in remaining Right even though crushed ; in which a whole people were seized with the madness of ex- termination, with the frenzy of ravage, affording the supreme vision of little Serbia in a great halo of blood, arrayed in lofty pride, as it were in the midst of the imperial arena, falling, a virgin, into the jaws of the wild beasts.
