Of course we need not leave out of sight the ordinary theory andexplanation, that wars are simply a part of the general struggle forexistence--culminating explosions of hatred and mutual destructionbetween peoples who are competing with each other for the means ofsubsistence. That there is something in this view one can hardly deny;and it is one which I have already touched upon. Still, I cannot helpthinking that there is something even deeper--something that connectsWar with the amatory instin...ct; and that this probably is to be found inthe direction of a physiological impact and fusion between the two (ormore) peoples concerned, which fertilizes and regenerates them, and isperhaps as necessary in the life of Nations as the fusion of cells is inthe life of Protozoa, or the phenomena of sex in the evolution of Man. And while the Nations fight, the little mortals who represent them haveonly the faintest idea of what is really going on, of what the warfaremeans. They _feel_ the sweep of immense passions; ecstasies and horrorsconvulse and dislocate their minds; but they do not, cannot, understand.
