Bernadou clung to his home with a dogged devotion. He would not go from it to fight unless compelled, but for it he would have fought like a lion. His love for his country was only an indefinite, shadowy existence that was not clear to him; he could not save a land that he had never seen,
a capital that was only to him as an empty name; nor could he comprehend the danger that his nation ran, nor could he desire to go forth and
spend his life-blood In defence of things unknown to him. He was only a peasant, and he could not read nor greatly understand. But affection for
his birthplace was a passion with him, mute Indeed, but deep-seated as an oak. For his birthplace he would have struggled as a man can only
struggle when supreme love as well as duty nerves his arm. Neither he nor Reine Allix could see that a man's duty might lie from home, but in that
home both were alike ready to dare anything and to suffer everything. It was a narrow form of patriotism, yet it had nobleness, endurance, and
patience in it; in song it has been oftentimes deified as heroism, but in modern Warfare it is punished as the blackest crime.
(from "A Leaf in the Storm" by Louise De La Ramee)
