"A feeling of unreality oppressed me as I stared at a figure streaming from blood whose limbs hung loose...what was all this then? The war had shown its class and torn off its pleasant mask. It was so mysterious, so impersonal...The impression of something arising entirely from behind the pale of experience was so strange that it was difficult to see the connection of things. It was like a ghost at noon."

"In the case of something quite unknown the eye alone can make nothing of it.... It was too entirely unfamiliar. We looked at all these dead with dislocated limbs, distorted faces, and the hideous colours of decay, as though we walked in a dream...But finally we were so accustomed to the horrible that if we came on a dead body anywhere on a fire-step or in a ditch we gave it no more passing thought."
