The blue bay with its pointed11 ships and the white town lay below them, distant, flat, serene12. There was upon this vista13 a peace that a bird knows when high in the air it surveys the world, a great calm thing rolling noiselessly toward the end of the mystery. Here on the height one felt the existence of the universe scornfully defining the pain in ten thousand minds. The sky was an arch of stolid14 sapphire15. Even to the mountains raising their mighty16 shapes from the valley, this headlong rush of the fugitives17 was too minute. The sea, the sky, and the hills combined in their grandeur18 to term this misery19 inconsequent. Then too it sometimes happened that a face seen as it passed on the flood reflected curiously20 the spirit of them all and still more. One saw then a woman of the opinion of the vaults21 above the clouds. When a child cried it cried always because of some adjacent misfortune, some discomfort22 of a pack-saddle or rudeness of an encircling arm. In the dismal23 melody of this flight there were often sounding chords of apathy24. Into these preoccupied25 countenances26, one felt that needles could be thrust without purchasing a scream. The trail wound here and there as the sheep had willed in the making of it.
Although this throng27 seemed to prove that the whole of humanity was fleeing in one direction—with every tie severed28 that binds29 us to the soil—a young man was walking rapidly up the mountain, hastening to a side of the path from time to time to avoid some particularly wide rush of people and cattle. He looked at everything in agitation31 and pity. Frequently he called admonitions to maniacal32 fugitives, and at other moments he exchanged strange stares with the imperturbable33 ones. They seemed to him to wear merely the expressions of so many boulders34 rolling down the hill. He exhibited wonder and awe35 with his pitying glances.
Turning once toward the rear, he saw a man in the uniform of a lieutenant36 of infantry37 marching the same way. He waited then, subconsciously38 elate at a prospect39 of being able to make into words the emotion which heretofore had only been expressed in the flash of eyes and sensitive movements of his flexible mouth. He spoke40 to the officer in rapid French, waving his arms wildly, and often pointing with a dramatic finger. "Ah, this is too cruel, too cruel, too cruel. Is it not? I did not think it would be as bad as this. I did not think—God's mercy—I did not think at all. And yet I am a Greek. Or at least my father was a Greek. I did not come here to fight. I am really a correspondent, you see? I was to write for an Italian paper. I have been educated in Italy. I have spent nearly all my life in Italy. At the schools and universities! I knew nothing of war! I was a student—a student. I came here merely because my father was a Greek, and for his sake I thought of Greece—I loved Greece. But I did not dream——"
He paused, breathing heavily. His eyes glistened42 from that soft overflow43 which comes on occasion to the glance of a young woman. Eager, passionate44, profoundly moved, his first words, while facing the procession of fugitives, had been an active definition of his own dimension, his personal relation to men, geography, life. Throughout he had preserved the fiery45 dignity of a tragedian.
The officer's manner at once deferred46 to this outburst. "Yes," he said, polite but mournful, "these poor people! These poor people! I do not know what is to become of these poor people."
The young man declaimed again. "I had no dream—I had no dream that it would be like this! This is too cruel! Too cruel! Now I want to be a soldier. Now I want to fight. Now I want to do battle for the land of my father." He made a sweeping47 gesture into the north-west.
The officer was also a young man, but he was very bronzed and steady. Above his high military collar of crimson48 cloth with one silver star upon it, appeared a profile stern, quiet, and confident, respecting fate, fearing only opinion. His clothes were covered with dust; the only bright spot was the flame of the crimson collar. At the violent cries of his companion he smiled as if to himself, meanwhile keeping his eyes fixed49 in a glance ahead.
From a land toward which their faces were bent50 came a continuous boom of artillery51 fire. It was sounding in regular measures like the beating of a colossal52 clock, a clock that was counting the seconds in the lives of the stars, and men had time to die between the ticks. Solemn, oracular, inexorable, the great seconds tolled53 over the hills as if God fronted this dial rimmed54 by the horizon. The soldier and the correspondent found themselves silent. The latter in particular was sunk in a great mournfulness, as if he had resolved willy-nilly to swing to the bottom of the abyss where dwell secrets of his kind, and had learned beforehand that all to be met there was cruelty and hopelessness. A strap55 of his bright new leather leggings came unfastened, and he bowed over it slowly, impressively, as one bending over the grave of a child.
Then suddenly, the reverberations mingled56 until one could not separate an explosion from another, and into the hubbub57 came the drawling sound of a leisurely58 musketry fire. Instantly, for some reason of cadence59, the noise was irritating, silly, infantile. This uproar60 was childish. It forced the nerves to object, to protest against this racket which was as idle as the din6 of a lad with a drum.
The lieutenant lifted his finger and pointed. He spoke in vexed61 tones, as if he held the other man personally responsible for the noise. "Well, there!" he said. "If you wish for war you now have an opportunity magnificent."
The correspondent raised himself upon his toes. He tapped his chest with gloomy pride. "Yes! There is war! There is the war I wish to enter. I fling myself in. I am a Greek, a Greek, you understand. I wish to fight for my country. You know the way. Lead me. I offer myself." Struck by a sudden thought he brought a case from his pocket, and extracting a card handed it to the officer with a bow. "My name is Peza," he said simply.
A strange smile passed over the soldier's face. There was pity and pride—the vanity of experience—and contempt in it. "Very well," he said, returning the bow. "If my company is in the middle of the fight I shall be glad for the honour of your companionship. If my company is not in the middle of the fight—I will make other arrangements for you."
Peza bowed once more, very stiffly, and correctly spoke his thanks. On the edge of what he took to be a great venture toward death, he discovered that he was annoyed at something in the lieutenant's tone. Things immediately assumed new and extraordinary proportions. The battle, the great carnival62 of woe63, was sunk at once to an equation with a vexation by a stranger. He wanted to ask the lieutenant what was his meaning. He bowed again majestically64; the lieutenant bowed. They flung a shadow of manners, of capering65 tinsel ceremony across a land that groaned66, and it satisfied something within themselves completely.
In the meantime, the river of fleeing villagers had changed to simply a last dropping of belated creatures, who fled past stammering67 and flinging their hands high. The two men had come to the top of the great hill. Before them was a green plain as level as an inland sea. It swept northward68, and merged69 finally into a length of silvery mist. Upon the near part of this plain, and upon two grey treeless mountains at the side of it, were little black lines from which floated slanting70 sheets of smoke. It was not a battle to the nerves. One could survey it with equanimity71, as if it were a tea-table; but upon Peza's mind it struck a loud clanging blow. It was war. Edified72, aghast, triumphant73, he paused suddenly, his lips apart. He remembered the pageants74 of carnage that had marched through the dreams of his childhood. Love he knew that he had confronted, alone, isolated75, wondering, an individual, an atom taking the hand of a titanic76 principle. But, like the faintest breeze on his forehead, he felt here the vibration77 from the hearts of forty thousand men.
"I will go with you wherever you go," shouted Peza loudly.
A primitive79 track wound down the side of the mountain, and in their rush they bounded from here to there, choosing risks which in the ordinary caution of man would surely have seemed of remarkable80 danger. The ardour of the correspondent surpassed the full energy of the soldier. Several times he turned and shouted, "Come on! Come on!"
At the foot of the path they came to a wide road, which extended toward the battle in a yellow and straight line. Some men were trudging81 wearily to the rear. They were without rifles; their clumsy uniforms were dirty and all awry82. They turned eyes dully aglow83 with fever upon the pair striding toward the battle. Others were bandaged with the triangular84 kerchief upon which one could still see through bloodstains the little explanatory pictures illustrating85 the ways to bind30 various wounds. "Fig41. 1."—"Fig. 2."—"Fig. 7." Mingled with the pacing soldiers were peasants, indifferent, capable of smiling, gibbering about the battle, which was to them an ulterior drama. A man was leading a string of three donkeys to the rear, and at intervals86 he was accosted87 by wounded or fevered soldiers, from whom he defended his animals with ape-like cries and mad gesticulation. After much chattering88 they usually subsided89 gloomily, and allowed him to go with his sleek90 little beasts unburdened. Finally he encountered a soldier who walked slowly with the assistance of a staff. His head was bound with a wide bandage, grimey from blood and mud. He made application to the peasant, and immediately they were involved in a hideous91 Levantine discussion. The peasant whined92 and clamoured, sometimes spitting like a kitten. The wounded soldier jawed93 on thunderously, his great hands stretched in claw-like graspings over the peasant's head. Once he raised his staff and made threat with it. Then suddenly the row was at an end. The other sick men saw their comrade mount the leading donkey and at once begin to drum with his heels. None attempted to gain the backs of the remaining animals. They gazed after them dully. Finally they saw the caravan95 outlined for a moment against the sky. The soldier was still waving his arms passionately96, having it out with the peasant.
Peza was alive with despair for these men who looked at him with such doleful, quiet eyes. "Ah, my God!" he cried to the lieutenant, "these poor souls! These poor souls!"
The officer faced about angrily. "If you are coming with me there is no time for this." Peza obeyed instantly and with a sudden meekness97. In the moment some portion of egotism left him, and he modestly wondered if the universe took cognizance of him to an important degree. This theatre for slaughter98, built by the inscrutable needs of the earth, was an enormous affair, and he reflected that the accidental destruction of an individual, Peza by name, would perhaps be nothing at all.
With the lieutenant he was soon walking along behind a series of little crescent-shape trenches99, in which were soldiers, tranquilly100 interested, gossiping with the hum of a tea-party. Although these men were not at this time under fire, he concluded that they were fabulously101 brave. Else they would not be so comfortable, so at home in their sticky brown trenches. They were certain to be heavily attacked before the day was old. The universities had not taught him to understand this attitude.
At the passing of the young man in very nice tweed, with his new leggings, his new white helmet, his new field-glass case, his new revolver holster, the soiled soldiers turned with the same curiosity which a being in strange garb102 meets at the corners of streets. He might as well have been promenading103 a populous104 avenue. The soldiers volubly discussed his identity.
To Peza there was something awful in the absolute familiarity of each tone, expression, gesture. These men, menaced with battle, displayed the curiosity of the café. Then, on the verge105 of his great encounter toward death, he found himself extremely embarrassed, composing his face with difficulty, wondering what to do with his hands, like a gawk at a levée.
He felt ridiculous, and also he felt awed94, aghast, at these men who could turn their faces from the ominous106 front and debate his clothes, his business. There was an element which was new born into his theory of war. He was not averse107 to the brisk pace at which the lieutenant moved along the line.
The roar of fighting was always in Peza's ears. It came from some short hills ahead and to the left. The road curved suddenly and entered a wood. The trees stretched their luxuriant and graceful108 branches over grassy109 slopes. A breeze made all this verdure gently rustle110 and speak in long silken sighs. Absorbed in listening to the hurricane racket from the front, he still remembered that these trees were growing, the grass-blades were extending according to their process. He inhaled111 a deep breath of moisture and fragrance112 from the grove113, a wet odour which expressed all the opulent fecundity114 of unmoved nature, marching on with her million plans for multiple life, multiple death.
Further on, they came to a place where the Turkish shells were landing. There was a long hurtling sound in the air, and then one had sight of a shell. To Peza it was of the conical missiles which friendly officers had displayed to him on board warships115. Curiously enough, too, this first shell smacked116 of the foundry, of men with smudged faces, of the blare of furnace fires. It brought machinery117 immediately into his mind. He thought that if he was killed there at that time it would be as romantic, to the old standards, as death by a bit of falling iron in a factory.
