laurel; because I thought at least there was nothing pacifist about
laurel. But that night, after the bonfire and the fireworks had faded, a
wind grew and blew with gathering violence, blowing away the rain. And
in the morning I found one of the laurelled posts torn off and lying at
random on the rainy ground; while the other still stood erect, green and
glittering in the sun. I thought that the pagans would certainly have
called it an omen; and it was one that strangely fitted my own sense of
some great work half fulfilled and half frustrated. And I thought
vaguely of that man in Virgil, who prayed that he might slay his foe and
return to his country; and the gods heard half the prayer, and the other
half was scattered to the winds. For I knew we were right to rejoice;
since the tyrant was indeed slain and his tyranny fallen for ever; but I
know not when we shall find our way back to our own land.
