Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The House on the Sands The result was not that of mere addition; a crowd is not the sum of its parts but a new entity, thinking and feeling in round numbers. The soldiers had captured London´s imagination as completely as if they were indeed a hostile army come to take possession of the spoils of war. London thought in khaki. Nobody knew or cared how many or how few were the soldiers: figures meant nothing; London was filled with soldiers, submerged in khaki. As the traffic died and people gathered in the streets and at windows, it would have been seen that all their faces were become marvellously alike. They were no longer individuals, they reflected the common mood. Wherever a man moved his feet fell in unison with the feet of the soldiers. Every sound was subordinated to the rhythmic tramp of their feet as the episodes of a great symphony are caught up and interwoven with the development of the main subject Every mans blood beat to the measure of a marching tune; abstract man wore khaki, and every other garb was the livery of impotence. Every woman saw her lover in uniform; for the time being every woman in London, maid, wife, or widow, light or honest, was potentially at the mercy of the soldiers.
