Quote #11 on Political Struggle Quotes >> War and Media
“If the soldier marches to the sack of a town, he must be preceded by drum and trumpet, which shall identify his cause with the accordant universe. All things thus echo back his own spirit, and thus the hostile territory is preoccupied for him. He is no longer insulated, but infinitely related and familiar. The roll-call musters for him all the forces of nature.”
Source: "The Service," by Henry David Thoreau, 1860. Part II.
