Description
Excerpt from Submarine and Anti-Submarine
Cromer, and the spirit which (however personal and diverse in its manifestations) they both drew from the nation that sent them forth Such an understanding would enable the narrator to carry us all with him, For every man of our national birth and breeding would feel, when he was told the story of such heroes, not only their superiority but their likeness to himself. ''there,'' he would say, but for lack Of fortune, or opportunity, or courage, or stature, there goes John Smith.'' It is admiration which helps us to feel that, and a mean spirit which conceals it from us.
