13、War 1 The passengers had had to stop at a small station in order to continue their journey by the small old-fashioned local train. 2 At dawn, a bulky woman in deep mourning was hoisted in almost like a shapeless bundle. Behind her, puffing and moaning, followed her husband a tiny man, thin and weakl

14、y, looking shy and uneasy. 3 Having at last taken a seat he politely thanked the passengers who had helped his wife and made room for her. The wife pulled up her collar again to her eyes, so as to hide her face. Text 4 And he felt it his duty to explain to his traveling companions that the war was t

15、aking away from her her only son, a boy of 20 to whom both had devoted their entire life, even allowing him to volunteer for war and now, all of a sudden, receiving a wire saying that he was due to leave in three days time and asking them to go and see him off. 5 The woman under the big coat was fee

16、ling certain that all those explanations would not have aroused even a shadow of sympathy from those people who most likely were in the same plight as herself. One of them said: Text 6 “What about me? I have two sons and three nephews at the front.” 7 “Maybe, but in our case it is our only son,” ven

17、tured the husband. 8 “What difference can it make? You may spoil your only son by excessive attentions, but you cannot love him more than you would all your other children if you had any. Parental love is not like bread that can be broken to pieces and split amongst the children in equal shares. If

18、I am suffering now for my two sons, I am not suffering half for each of them but double .” 9 “True . true . ” sighed the embarrassed husband, “but suppose a father has two sons at the front and he loses one of them, there is still one left to console him . while . ” Text 10 “Yes,” answered the other

19、, “a son left to console him but also a son left for whom he must survive, while in the case of the father of an only son if the son dies the father can die too and put an end to his distress.” 11 “Nonsense,” interrupted another traveler, a fat, red-faced man with bloodshot eyes. 12 He was panting.

20、From his bulging eyes seemed to spurt inner violence of an uncontrolled vitality which his weakened body could hardly contain. 13 “Do we give life to our own children for our own benefit?” Text 14 The other travelers stared at him in distress. One of them said “You are right. Our children do not bel

21、ong to us, they belong to the country .” 15 “Bosh,” retorted the fat traveler. “Do we think of the country when we give life to our children? Our sons are born because . well, because they must be born. Now, at our age, the love of our country is still great, of course, but stronger is the love of o

22、ur children.” 16 There was a silence all round, everybody nodding to approve. Text 17 “Why then,” continued the fat man, “shouldnt we consider the feelings of our children? Isnt it natural that at their age they should consider the love for their Country even greater than the love for us? Everyone s

23、hould stop crying; everyone should laugh or at least thank God as I do because my son sent me a message saying that he was dying satisfied at having ended his life in the best way he could have wished. That is why I do not even wear mourning . ” 18 He shook his light fawn coat as to show it; his liv

24、id lip over his missing teeth was trembling, his eyes were watery and motionless, and soon after he ended with a shrill laugh which might well have been a sob. Text 19 “Quite so . quite so .” agreed the others. 20 The woman had tried to find in the words of her husband and her friends something to c

25、onsole her in her deep sorrow, something that might show her how a mother should resign herself to send her son not even to death but to a probable danger of life. 21 Yet not a word had she found amongst the many that had been said and her grief had been greater in seeing that nobody could share her

26、 feelings. Text 22 But now the words of the traveler amazed and almost stunned her. She suddenly realized that it wasnt the others who could not understand her but herself who could not rise up to the same height of those fathers and mothers willing to resign themselves, without crying, not only to

27、the departure of their sons but even to their death. 23 She bent over from her corner trying to listen with great attention to the details which the fat man was giving to his companions about the way his son had fallen as a hero, for his King and his country, happy and without regrets. It seemed to

28、her that she had stumbled into a world she had never dreamt of. Text 24 Then suddenly, just as if she had heard nothing of what had been said and almost as if waking up from a dream, she turned to the old man, and inquired: 25 “Then . is your son really dead?” 26 Everyone stared at her. The old man,

29、 too, turned to look at her, fixing his great, bulging, horribly watery light gray eyes, deep in her face. For some time he tried to answer, but words failed him. He had suddenly realized at last that his son was really dead gone forever forever. His face contracted, became horribly distorted, then

30、he snatched in haste a handkerchief from his pocket and, to the amazement of everyone, broke into harrowing, heart-breaking, uncontrollable sobs.
