"THE BREAKING OF NATIONS."
These verses by Thomas Hardy appeared in the " Saturday Review '' with the note—No Copyright* Reserved. "Only a. man harrowing clods In a slow silent walk Witti an old horse that stumbles aud nods Half asleep as they stalk. " Only thin smoke without flame From the heaps of couch grass ; Yet this will go on just tho same Though dynasties pass. " Yonder a maid and her wight Come whispering by; War's annals will fade into night Ere their story die."
