When prisoners are taken by the
French they are grouped iindei' d guard

The first lesson Is to accept the past

passed from the world of actual con-
facts into the world of art. Memory
may paint the picture as 1t will, drop
out all shadows and catch the beauty
Of our exquisite loss in all the golden
