Divested of their horror, modern wars Are no more than rehearsals of the past, With this distinction that instead of one— A king or chief— may be a hundred take The last steps in deciding they would fight. But in this hundred, too, the voice of but A few prevails in winning oer the rest. A nation of a hundred million is Thus drawn into a vortex by the will Of but a handful, who pretend that what They did had the support of everyone, To flatter people they, too, had a hand In what was settled by the topmost few.
