#5826 | T: 40 | I: 4 | [ i stand here before you , a polluted , a guilty man and can only implore you ever to remain as you are , never to suffer the bright light of your childhood to be misused as a blow - flame of hate . ]
#6429 | T: 40 | I: 4 | [ in the morning the bridal pair drive to the church in a black lacquered coach , bedecked in white silk — four - in - hand , of course , as is only proper for a union that owes its origin to horses . ]
#502 | T: 40 | I: 5 | [ kosole crouches in the ditch by the roadside ready to fire ; jupp and trosske duck , and spy out from behind a clump of elders ; willy homeyer tugs at his hand - grenade belt ; even our wounded are ready for fight . ]
#4577 | T: 40 | I: 5 | [ " it would have been a pity otherwise , " he assures me energetically , and now , just as tjaden strolls by to make another wry face , without a word and without shifting on his seat kosole plants one superbly aimed kick . ]
#5733 | T: 40 | I: 5 | [ the red face grows pale and sinks in , the gaze snaps , and eyes and mouth are at last no more than black caverns in a swiftly decaying countenance , that slowly inclines to the earth , sags and sinks into the dandelions . ]
#6069 | T: 40 | I: 5 | [ it is strange how a face without eyes alters — how in the upper half it becomes extinct , smooth and dead , and how odd the mouth is in comparison , when it speaks : only the lower half of the face lives . ]
#6370 | T: 40 | I: 5 | [ he held her close and kept repeating : " we ' ll look for a buyer to - morrow — to - morrow morning , first thing ——" and in a storm of resolution , of hope , anger and misery he took her . ]
#6996 | T: 40 | I: 5 | [ true , one may call that life , if one likes , and a man may even pride himself on crawling about under it his forty years and more ; but i learned at the front that time is not the measure of life . ]
#1520 | T: 40 | I: 6 | [ the scene stands out clearly for a moment , then it wavers and vanishes ; the underpants flap through it , the drying - yard is there again , and again behind me i feel the room with my parents , and warmth and security . ]
#7081 | T: 40 | I: 7 | [ " " yes , bruno , " i say , " the shooting was marvellous , no doubt about it , — all the same — what i mean to say is , don ' t you feel a bit sorry for the poor blighters sometimes ? ]
#474 | T: 40 | I: 8 | [ and again we stand still , and suddenly we know that all that yonder , that hell of terrors , that desolate corner of shell - hole - land , has usurped our hearts ; — yes , damn it , that it should sound such slush ! ]
#3046 | T: 39 | I: 2 | [ and i may as well tell you at once — we know as good as nothing now of all your bookish stuff , and what ' s more we ' ve no wish to stay here longer than need be . ]
#7338 | T: 39 | I: 2 | [ — this man alone "— he points to albert again —" with his two mates had taken care of enough to fill a whole hospital — though , of course most of the stomach - wounds never got that far . ]
#72 | T: 39 | I: 3 | [ " " i tried on my civvies last time i was on leave , " i say meditatively , " but they ' re ever so much too small for me now — i ' ll have to get new things . ]
#2385 | T: 39 | I: 3 | [ in my mind he was so much of one piece with his notebook and his uniform , that i could hardly even have imagined what he would look like in his shirt , to say nothing of this bar - tender . ]
#4358 | T: 39 | I: 3 | [ karl has the advantage — the high collar of his swagger uniform , his new patent - leather shoes , the chains and rings of his sleigh - horse make a picture of dazzling elegance that none could hope to rival . ]
#6353 | T: 39 | I: 3 | [ adolf jumped up and plucked the white muslin curtains across the windows , as if thereby to shut off the low room against the night that stared in through the black , rectangular panes with its lusting owl ' s eyes . ]
#6385 | T: 39 | I: 3 | [ at night after the paper has been read and the food cleared from the table they sit down opposite each other , then the vacancy of gloom settles down over the place , until he is dazed with listening and brooding . ]
#7512 | T: 39 | I: 3 | [ i look at the old familiar faces and in a moment everything seems changed — here we are , all squatting together again , as so often before — only we are fewer now — but are we really together still ? ]
#442 | T: 39 | I: 4 | [ grey stretches the monotonous landscape before us — in the distance what is left of a copse , a few stumps , the ruins of a village , in the midst of it one solitary high wall that has withstood it all . ]
#1932 | T: 39 | I: 4 | [ in the wild light of the rockets , and among the shattered ruins of front - line villages , i had almost forgotten such things existed — such street - long , walled - in peace of carpets and warmth and women . ]
#1963 | T: 39 | I: 4 | [ the curtains are grimy , the waitress is yawning , the air is sticky , and altogether there is not much to be said for it — and yet to our mind there is a great deal to be said for it . ]
#3055 | T: 39 | I: 4 | [ for years they have let us shoot , and stab , and kill ; and now it is a matter of grave importance whether it was from the second form or from the third form that we went off to do it . ]
#3853 | T: 39 | I: 4 | [ the ration - cards allow only half a pound of meat , three - quarters of an ounce of butter , an ounce and a half of margarine , three ounces of pearl - barley and some bread each week per person . ]
#6609 | T: 39 | I: 4 | [ — had albert ' s youth been peaceful and without interruption , then he would have had many things familiar and dear to him , that would have grown up with him , and that now would have sustained and kept him . ]
#1794 | T: 39 | I: 5 | [ we cannot understand properly what he is saying , for the wind sweeps over the square in spasmodic , long - drawn gusts , each time bringing with it a wave of organ music in which the thin , halting voice almost drowns . ]
#6483 | T: 39 | I: 5 | [ somebody has heard tell of something or other , a second passes it on , a third interests a fourth ; they run up and down and make a great deal of fuss , but there ' s seldom anything in it really . ]
#6719 | T: 39 | I: 5 | [ it won ' t be long now before our successors on the school benches will be listening , eager - eyed , to stories of the war , and wishing they had been there too , rid of all the tedium of school . ]
#7407 | T: 39 | I: 5 | [ he sees the explosions heaving ; parachute rockets hang in the sky above the desolation like gigantic arc lamps ; the heaven coughs glowing - black and the earth , thundering from horizon to horizon , is churned into fountains and sulphurous craters . ]
#385 | T: 39 | I: 6 | [ returning , bethke makes a detour so that wessling shall not be able to get a sight of him ; he shakes his head , makes the figure 1 with his finger , and with his mouth shapes inaudibly : " one — hour . ]
#6841 | T: 39 | I: 6 | [ — but behind him another is already pushing his way in , pale , crippled , bowed down — friedrich tomberge , whose back was broken by a shell - splinter at soissons , while he was sitting on the stairs of a dugout . ]
#6042 | T: 39 | I: 7 | [ and i put my arm about his shoulder and press him to me , and i feel how he is trembling —" ach , ludwig , that ' s all bunk , and anyway , i may have it myself , for all i know . ]
#6910 | T: 39 | I: 7 | [ i bend my knees , i sit up , my face is wet ; and only then do i discover that i am weeping , incontinently weeping , as if all that were now over , gone for ever —— i still rest a while . ]
#7400 | T: 39 | I: 7 | [ in the uncertain twilight they appear a tormented , frozen sea , a petrified storm , rahe detects the sickly odour of blood , of powder and earth , the wild smell of death , who is still in this landscape and here has authority . ]
#5756 | T: 39 | I: 9 | [ he is rolling me down into it , i lose balance , struggle to catch hold — i am slipping , i fall , cry out , fall endlessly , cry , hit something , cry —— darkness comes away in great clots under my clutching hands . ]
#1976 | T: 38 | I: 2 | [ we would sit for hours in becker ' s — it was here we used to smoke cigarettes on the sly , and here too that we had our first stolen meetings with the girls from the city school . ]
#5440 | T: 38 | I: 2 | [ he will lie like a knave when i ask him if he did his own homework ; and if he gets half a chance he will spit on my breeches or put a drawing - pin on my chair . ]
#6443 | T: 38 | I: 2 | [ " of course there is not a skerrick of horse - flesh on the table ; nothing but the best quality pork is steaming in the dishes and before us stands an enormous joint of roast veal ready carved . ]
#5428 | T: 38 | I: 3 | [ but little by little with the weekly portions of tuition another , artificial set of values was foisted upon them — he who knew his lesson best was termed excellent and ranked foremost , and the rest must emulate him . ]
#7067 | T: 38 | I: 3 | [ — the sons of bitches got wise to it and were more careful — but here , look you , the 26 th — a new lot came up who hadn ' t heard tell of bruno — nine heads ! ]
#4033 | T: 38 | I: 4 | [ both the gendarmes are now gurgling and gulping and spitting , but it is no good ; there is paper in their throats , and their arms are being twisted behind them and made fast with their own cross - straps . ]
#4918 | T: 38 | I: 4 | [ we made revolution with too little hate , that ' s the whole fact of the matter ; we wanted to be just to everybody from the very jump , and with the result that the whole thing has fizzled out . ]
#5579 | T: 38 | I: 4 | [ they know the times of the wind and the yellow - brown , cinnamon haze of the gathering evening ; they know the shadows that ride over the ground when clouds hide the sun , and the ways of the moon . ]
#7634 | T: 38 | I: 4 | [ i even go out to meet it , i send my thoughts back into the dugouts , and shell - holes — but when they return they bring back neither fear nor horror with them , but only strength and will . ]
#5356 | T: 38 | I: 5 | [ she didn ' t want it at first , no doubt , but then when once it was there — well , she didn ' t know how to help herself any more , and so one thing led on to another . ]
#7335 | T: 38 | I: 5 | [ then when the columns before them , supposing everything clear , began to advance , not till then did they open fire ; and so it went on again and again — it was a long time before they could get reinforcements . ]
#2799 | T: 38 | I: 7 | [ there i sit , just as we did then out in flanders , absent - minded , both elbows on the table , the bone in my two hands , my fingers covered in grease , gnawing off the last scraps of the chop . ]
#7425 | T: 38 | I: 8 | [ rahe picks himself up and walks on without direction a long time , till at last he is standing before the black crosses , erect , one behind another in long rows , like a company , a battalion , a brigade , an army . ]
#7411 | T: 38 | I: 9 | [ the earth clutches for him , it reaches out after him , as with hands ; the yellow , thick clay , sticks to his shoes and makes his steps heavy , as though the dead would drag him , the survivor , down to themselves . ]
#1463 | T: 37 | I: 1 | [ i ' m back again — and the war ' s ended — surely there is nothing to cry about ——" then i we have had potato - cakes with eggs and sausage — a wonderful meal . ]
#3838 | T: 37 | I: 1 | [ — you ' ll always have some couple of months or other about which it would be a pity — and in the end you will wake up and find yourself an old man ——" willy grins . ]
#6450 | T: 37 | I: 1 | [ the father - in - law is so touched by it that he offers willy a position as manager of a chop - house he is proposing to open during the next few weeks somewhere or other . ]
#5917 | T: 37 | I: 2 | [ i can quite well picture what he would have been at the front — somebody would always have had to be looking after him one way or another , and he would certainly never have become an n . ]
#6707 | T: 37 | I: 2 | [ " " in that case we ' ll just have to make him , " explains rahe after a while —" he ' s got to get out — and if i once start ——" ludwig says nothing . ]
#4031 | T: 37 | I: 3 | [ before the second can collect himself kosole butts him upward under the chin with his bony skull , and valentin is already behind him , squeezing so hard on his wind - pipe that his mouth comes wide open . ]
#4827 | T: 37 | I: 3 | [ we got permits , though not without waiting a long time — other regiments were also going up the line , so they were many that came there in haste to snatch whatever of life they might still get . ]
#5119 | T: 37 | I: 3 | [ by the time he has reached the cheese , the farmer ' s wife is leaning back against the cupboard and looking at willy with admiration and astonishment , as if he were the eighth wonder of the world . ]
#6606 | T: 37 | I: 3 | [ we have thought to build us houses , we desired gardens with terraces , for we wanted to look out upon the sea and to feel the wind — but we did not think that a house needs foundations . ]
#7603 | T: 37 | I: 3 | [ " " yes , " says kosole sourly , " so it begins all over again ——" just outside the village we find a little beer garden where already there are a few tables standing out in the open . ]
#6113 | T: 37 | I: 4 | [ but then the column moves on , and again it is just the face of the furniture remover , pallid from the hospital in the pale evening , and smiling gratefully as a comrade puts a cigarette between his lips . ]
#7410 | T: 37 | I: 4 | [ — here is not peace , not the make - believe peace of the rest of the world ; here is still struggle and war ; here destruction is still mysteriously raging and its eddies lose themselves in the sky . ]
#7651 | T: 37 | I: 4 | [ and i might still be wandering in the wilderness , have fallen victim to the wire snares and the detonators , had ludwig ' s death not gone up before us like a rocket , lighting to us the way . ]
#3212 | T: 37 | I: 7 | [ the silk crackles in his hand , he holds it out : " i wanted to bring this for you , " he says , and is still thinking : " it can ' t be , it can ' t be true . ]
#2647 | T: 37 | I: 8 | [ " he smiles , a little embarrassed ; then hesitatingly he says : " well , ernst , you know , out there a lot of things would keep coming into my head , and i could never get the rights of them somehow . ]
#1250 | T: 36 | I: 2 | [ without wasting any time in farewells ledderhose and his rag - and - bone shop have already gone like a shot : and tjaden gets willy to describe briefly the shortest route to the moll - shop . ]
#3077 | T: 36 | I: 2 | [ now he ' ll have to take back all the credit he gave to your corpse — for if i know anything , you ' re just as rotten at algebra and composition as ever you were . ]
#6404 | T: 36 | I: 2 | [ he talks on until his wife retreats to the corner and stands up on the curb of the sink out of reach of the light ; and again she is crying like a child who is lost . ]
#451 | T: 36 | I: 3 | [ there we stand , and should laugh and shout for joy — and yet we have now a sick feeling in the pit of our stomachs , as one who swallows a throat - swab and would vomit . ]
#1060 | T: 36 | I: 3 | [ we are so accustomed to shell - holes and trenches that we are suddenly suspicious of this still , green landscape ; as though its stillness were but a pretence to lure us into some secretly undermined region . ]
#3528 | T: 36 | I: 3 | [ the clock in the tower of neubauer ' s factory is still going ; it strikes the hours still , as in the days when we used to stare up at its face to see the finger move . ]
#5040 | T: 36 | I: 3 | [ he turns over and over the pages of his history book , and only after long searching up and down does he plump at last for the two questions following : " when was the battle of zama ? ]
#5285 | T: 36 | I: 3 | [ the postman , who at the same time is the bartender , is resting his head on the counter and wailing intermittently for a wife who died in child - bed while he was away at the war . ]
#6868 | T: 36 | I: 3 | [ but then came an immense weariness that took away all obdurateness , a waking sleep in which all thoughts were resolved , a feeble surrender to the gentle singing of the blood and the warmth of the sun . ]
#959 | T: 36 | I: 4 | [ " ludwig , " says tjaden in a thick voice , " you should go out into the garden for a bit , too — that heals all diseases ——" ludwig shakes his head and turns suddenly very pale . ]
#4153 | T: 36 | I: 4 | [ i ' ll be here again in a minute , " and i run off in search of the red hat , the red glow in the mist , the bright days of my youth before uniforms and trenches . ]
#6020 | T: 36 | I: 4 | [ i remain in the waiting - room , where i occupy myself tearing up a few numbers of die woche , in which is figured nothing but parades , and victories and pithy sayings of war - intoxicated clergymen . ]
#6224 | T: 36 | I: 4 | [ he does not hesitate , an instant , though there are now three of us , and we could drag him off if we wanted to — his soldiers would not dare to shoot for fear of hitting him . ]
#4257 | T: 36 | I: 5 | [ " pasted on the walls there are play - bills and photographs — vari - coloured patches , some of them half - torn , and pictures of weight - lifters , and female lion - tamers , and clowns . ]
#6065 | T: 36 | I: 5 | [ yet their ears are erect , pricked and alert , and their eyes are alive ; but they walk as if they no longer wished to run and to jump , as if they understood for what they are there . ]
#992 | T: 36 | I: 6 | [ no words in the world can take the field against this lonely , empty barracks square , and these sorry ranks of the survivors , standing there in their greatcoats and their boots , dumb and freezing , remembering their comrades . ]
#1104 | T: 36 | I: 6 | [ then , as if fired from a pistol , bethke , kosole and tjaden shoot into their seats and outsiders pour into the compartment , climb up on the luggage - rack , till every possible inch of space is occupied . ]
#1550 | T: 36 | I: 6 | [ " " of course , it must be , " i agree , " but i had an idea it was so much bigger , somehow ——" " it is so long since you were here , " says my mother . ]
#3078 | T: 36 | I: 6 | [ " we elect a students ' council ; for , though our schoolmasters may do , perhaps , to pump a few facts into us for examination purposes , we are certainly not going to let them govern us any more . ]
#4956 | T: 36 | I: 6 | [ " i have been in many dugouts , ludwig , " he goes on , " and we were all young men who sat there around one miserable slush lamp , waiting , while the barrage raged overhead like an earthquake . ]
#7444 | T: 36 | I: 8 | [ they stamp and are in motion , they are marching , slowly , and their way is far ; it will take long , but it leads forward ; they shall come there and fight their last battle , the battle for life . ]
#1204 | T: 36 | I: 9 | [ adolf has now become very small , a mere point , a tiny little man , quite alone on the wide , dark plain , above which , vast and electrically bright , ringing the horizon in sulphur yellow , towers the night sky . ]
#1754 | T: 35 | I: 1 | [ but that a fowl that is already dead should be taken back to where the merest recruit knows it can only cause a lot of unnecessary trouble — that seems to me just plain madness . ]
#2032 | T: 35 | I: 1 | [ " all these years a man has been living for just one thing — to get clear of the prussians — and now he has to be thankful if he is able to stay on . ]
#579 | T: 35 | I: 2 | [ he takes out a packet of cigarettes and offers it to kosole , who reaches for it eagerly — there is not a man of us but would willingly give his soul for a good cigarette . ]
#796 | T: 35 | I: 2 | [ until now we have been secretly expecting an order to turn about and go back to the trenches — a soldier is mistrustful of good , it is better to expect the contrary from the outset . ]
#3533 | T: 35 | I: 2 | [ i do not understand how it can be that i should stand here , and yet no longer feel about it as i did then in the barracks and out there in the shell - holes . ]
#3961 | T: 35 | I: 2 | [ at last a whole troop has collected and they stand outside in the windy darkness , hiding in a corner some little distance from the station so as to escape observation before the train shall arrive . ]
#4410 | T: 35 | I: 2 | [ as i catch a glimpse of her face from the side my breath catches , so like is she under the shaded lights of the ballroom to my memory of those evenings of before the war . ]
#4783 | T: 35 | I: 2 | [ there is something almost unreal in it , as if i only dreamed that i stood here on the dark street in the slushing snow and saw through the chink of a door this strange scene . ]
#3427 | T: 35 | I: 3 | [ caddis - fly larvæ creep slowly through the mud , a beetle paddles lazily along the bottom , and from under a decaying root the astonished eyes of a motionless pond - frog look up at me . ]
#5083 | T: 35 | I: 3 | [ the principal , taking heart again a little now that he is about to get rid of the worst of the blackguards , cannot deny himself this opportunity of addressing to us yet a few golden words . ]
#5707 | T: 35 | I: 3 | [ i walk through the blue twilight of the birch woods ; raindrops spill down from the branches into my neck ; i stumble over roots and on stones and when i return the leaden dawn has come . ]
#6112 | T: 35 | I: 3 | [ the dull glow of the lighted sign floods over him , colouring the silent face to an awful red , as if it were swelling with some terrible fury and must suddenly burst into a hideous cry . ]
#2174 | T: 35 | I: 4 | [ then , as though kosole ' s words had suddenly plucked aside a curtain that until now had but lightly swayed and shifted , a grey , ghostly desolation begins to unfold there in the bar - room . ]
#3318 | T: 35 | I: 4 | [ and only out of the far distance , as if they came up over forests and seas , i hear words dropping down , words that gradually sort themselves to a meaning and then penetrate in to me . ]
#4625 | T: 35 | I: 4 | [ and now here he is sitting among us in a flash , worsted suit , with a pearl tie - pin and spats , quite a well - to - do fellow with a big line of talk . ]
#943 | T: 35 | I: 5 | [ and now i ' ve got rheumatics ——" " ach , you be thankful you ' ve got any bones left at all , " says kosole , and crashes his hand down on the table : " music ! ]
#2933 | T: 35 | I: 5 | [ — for us they were once more than other men ; not merely because they were in charge of us , but because , however much we may have made fun of them , we still believed in them . ]
#3517 | T: 35 | I: 5 | [ a vague , threatening something seems to be sneaking upon me ; it retreats when i try to grapple with it , it disperses when i advance upon it , and then it gathers again behind me and watches . ]
#6442 | T: 35 | I: 5 | [ at the entrance are flowers and young birch trees , and even the slaughter - house has a garland of fir branches , to which willy , amid general acclamation , adds a placard with the word " welcome ! ]
#6925 | T: 35 | I: 5 | [ and there we were searching and searching ; we lost our way and fell down ; we looked for a purpose , and we tripped over ourselves ; we did not find it — and you have gone under ! ]
#2130 | T: 35 | I: 6 | [ with sleeves rolled up , shirt unbuttoned , sweating , with moist red neck , behind the counter stands the host drawing off the beer , that streams down brown and golden from under his fat hands into the glasses . ]
#3648 | T: 35 | I: 6 | [ this rather takes us aback ; we imagined he would be hopping about like a monkey , and raving and pulling faces , or at any rate , shivering all the time , like the shakers at the street corners . ]
#4166 | T: 35 | I: 6 | [ but still like a big , many - coloured banner there waves within me joy , and hope and fullness ; the little room where i was once a boy , summer , the greenspires and the open wide world . ]
#4905 | T: 35 | I: 6 | [ so now , of course , they flap about like sails when the wind has dropped ; and for the simple reason that here everything is a matter of small , painful advances ——" " exactly , " agrees rahe . ]
#5813 | T: 35 | I: 6 | [ should i tell you that all learning , all culture , all science is nothing but hideous mockery , so long as mankind makes war in the name of god and humanity with gas , iron , explosive and fire ? ]
#6351 | T: 35 | I: 6 | [ weird and gigantic the shadow reached out also , like a noiseless fate that had stolen in through the window out of the watchful darkness , and now grotesque , distorted , and tittering , was mocking her every movement . ]
#5638 | T: 35 | I: 7 | [ a table , a brown sofa , a bed , a few pictures on the wall ; in the corner a sewing - machine , a lay - figure of bamboo , and a basket of white linen to be sewn . ]
#486 | T: 35 | I: 9 | [ thus they tramp onward , step by step , sick , half - starving , without ammunition , in thin companies , with eyes that still fail to comprehend it : escaped out of that underworld , on the road back into life . ]
#1918 | T: 35 | I: 9 | [ there are the streets , cobbled and sure ; smooth , gleaming roofs , nowhere the gaping holes and gashes of shells ; undamaged , the walls tower into the blue night , gables and balconies silhouetted against it , making dark shadows . ]
#1087 | T: 34 | I: 1 | [ the station hall reverberates to the assembling of gear and the charge of the columns that stampede from the waiting - rooms and burst in wild confusion upon the men already in the hall . ]
#3374 | T: 34 | I: 2 | [ now i sit here before my mother , and she is on the verge of tears because she cannot understand that i should have become so coarse as to make use of an improper expression . ]
#5682 | T: 34 | I: 2 | [ small lanterns are flickering over them in the warm air of the stall , the milk spurts in thin streams into the bucket and the breasts of the girls joggle beneath their blue cotton blouses . ]
#7646 | T: 34 | I: 2 | [ there are many things to be built and almost everything to repair ; it is enough that i work to dig out again what was buried during the years of shells and machine - guns . ]
#178 | T: 34 | I: 3 | [ but now that it has become known peace may come any day , every hour has gained in weight a thousandfold , every minute under fire seems harder and longer almost than the whole time before . ]
#1701 | T: 34 | I: 3 | [ " i wasn ' t going to leave a fine roast like that just running about , " says willy in astonishment , " not when i had him as good as in my hand already . ]
#4143 | T: 34 | I: 3 | [ suddenly in the white - clear light i see a glistening , red patent - leather hat , and beneath it a face softly bloomed with the dampness that makes the eyes shine the more brightly . ]
#4394 | T: 34 | I: 3 | [ but he has sweated to such an extent that the dye in his cut - away has run badly ; his shirt and waistcoat are quite black , while his swallow - tail seems decidedly paler . ]
#5140 | T: 34 | I: 3 | [ it is only a week since i too was sitting on a form even as they , watching hollermann ' s florid , hackneyed gestures while he talked about the poets of the wars of liberation . ]
#6319 | T: 34 | I: 3 | [ when his wife would go down the street in the evening voices would call after her ; young men meeting her would laugh impudently to her face ; women gathered up their skirts with pointed gestures . ]

#2954 | T: 26 | I: 2 | [ the old man casts a sidelong glance in our direction and goes on : " but indeed such things are not to be weighed and nicely balanced . ]
#3365 | T: 26 | I: 2 | [ only next day was adolf bethke able to comfort me — i had just turned eighteen then , and that was the first attack i was in . ]

#3613 | T: 26 | I: 2 | [ my seven - page effort was rewarded with a grand total of minus two — a very fair result , if one takes present facts into consideration . ]
#4056 | T: 26 | I: 2 | [ " it is fortunate that village railway stations so often lie far from the houses , for no one has seen anything of what we have done . ]
#4361 | T: 26 | I: 2 | [ karl wins and takes the ten gull ' s eggs — he knows the brand of schnapps too well , having sold it to the house himself . ]

#4626 | T: 26 | I: 2 | [ and beside him is adolf bethke , who towered above him so out there that he was glad if bethke would so much as speak to him . ]
#4648 | T: 26 | I: 2 | [ now and then something still will shine through from that other time when we all wore the same rig , but already it is diminished and dim . ]
#5204 | T: 26 | I: 2 | [ we are quite well received , though with a certain reserve — our insubordination at college having won for us a rather doubtful reputation in respectable circles . ]
#5464 | T: 26 | I: 2 | [ the grown - up who would approach it too importunately , is as ridiculous in its eyes as if he had put on children ' s clothes . ]
#5520 | T: 26 | I: 2 | [ but from where i stand i see that wolf has suddenly let go the bulldog and is rushing toward us , imagining that i am being attacked . ]
#5824 | T: 26 | I: 2 | [ should i take you to the green - and - grey map there , move my finger across it and tell you that here love was murdered ? ]
#5855 | T: 26 | I: 2 | [ as i go to the station , a couple of little girls with smeary mouths and flying hair - ribbons come running out from the neighbouring house . ]
#6394 | T: 26 | I: 2 | [ "— but when things so stand between two people that they must talk , already it is beyond their power ever to say enough to mend them . ]

#1728 | T: 26 | I: 3 | [ when a man takes money , then perhaps you can talk of stealing , but certainly not when he just bags a little bit of something to eat . ]
#1967 | T: 26 | I: 3 | [ it is marvellous to pass so idly from one shop window to the next , not to have to trouble about anything , just to be freed men . ]
#2172 | T: 26 | I: 3 | [ " my god , " he mutters fiercely , " and to think how that swob stank of rum the night we buried schröder ——" he breaks off . ]
#2462 | T: 26 | I: 3 | [ " the beer pours down seelig ' s neck , it streams through his shirt into his breeches , making them swell out on his legs like balloons . ]

#6071 | T: 26 | I: 3 | [ they are more violent , and at the same time more cautious , in their gestures that have not yet gained the sureness of many years of darkness . ]
#6136 | T: 26 | I: 3 | [ his lips are pressed tight , the jaw bones stand out , his eyes are cold and tense — once more he has the face of the trenches . ]
#6223 | T: 26 | I: 3 | [ without knowing quite how , we are suddenly all standing there beside ludwig , awaiting the coming figure that for a weapon carries only a walking - stick . ]
#6890 | T: 26 | I: 3 | [ its boundaries are becoming uncertain , it is no longer apart , the light breaks down its contours and at the edges it is beginning to be unsure . ]
#1599 | T: 26 | I: 4 | [ quickly i run down the stairs , three steps at a time , i fling open the outer door and hurry out , eager to come to my comrades . ]
#3424 | T: 26 | I: 4 | [ suddenly my breath is quite taken away , so piercingly do i see how beautiful it is , this water in the glass , the lights and the reflections . ]
#3510 | T: 26 | I: 4 | [ " well , you see , i ' ve been here now a couple of weeks longer than you , " he says and starts talking of other things . ]
#3950 | T: 26 | I: 4 | [ he has exchanged it , because he has another at home that karl gave him , and then , he thinks that after all spring must come again sometime . ]
#4326 | T: 26 | I: 4 | [ karl , on the other hand , is dancing with a girl from the food office , all tricked out with rings and chains like a sleigh - horse . ]

#4959 | T: 26 | I: 4 | [ — there was the will to another future in those hard , set faces ; and it was there when they charged , and still there when they died . ]
#5121 | T: 26 | I: 4 | [ " well , " says he taking a breather , but retaining his spoon when she clears away the dish , " that has given me a real appetite . ]
#5843 | T: 26 | I: 4 | [ he is leaning out of the window in his shirt - sleeves , practising in the merry month of may , all things are renewed , on the fiddle . ]
#6180 | T: 26 | I: 4 | [ it seems endlessly long before they reach him — as though they marked time in some grey morass , glittering , tinselled rag puppets with loaded , lowered rifles . ]
#6522 | T: 26 | I: 4 | [ someone has said something to him that he cannot believe , but which , for all that , has stuck in his brain all the day like a thorn . ]
#7334 | T: 26 | I: 4 | [ but the three were quite calm ; they set their aim and waited , they didn ' t fire too soon , they merely sighted exactly at belly level . ]
#7656 | T: 26 | I: 4 | [ it will be a road like other roads , with stones and good stretches , with places torn up , with villages and fields — a road of toil . ]
#37 | T: 26 | I: 5 | [ jupp remains unperturbed , so he turns away , muttering : " it ' s the rumble in your own hungry guts ; that ' s all your shells are . ]
#448 | T: 26 | I: 5 | [ the farmhouse , the remnants of the wood , the heights , the trenches on the skyline yonder — it had been a terrible world , and life a burden . ]
#826 | T: 26 | I: 5 | [ the village , of course , is not germany ; all the same the disappointment sticks in our gizzard , and a shadow passes over us and a queer foreboding . ]
#3381 | T: 26 | I: 5 | [ you must never know , mother , never know of these last years ; never even wonder what they were like , and much less what has become of me . ]
#3490 | T: 26 | I: 5 | [ you see this here , " he points to the meadows before us , " that was life , it flowered and grew , and we grew along with it . ]
#3945 | T: 26 | I: 5 | [ our booty is not much — a few pounds of potatoes , some meal , a few eggs , apples , a couple of head of cabbage and some meat . ]
#4869 | T: 26 | I: 5 | [ i often long for affection even now , for shy words , for warm , generous emotions ; i would like to escape the crude monotony of these last years . ]
#5437 | T: 26 | I: 5 | [ his eyes are flashing with courage and eagerness for the assault , all his muscles , his sinews tense , his glance keen , and the rest follow him unhesitatingly . ]
#6962 | T: 26 | I: 5 | [ but then when i saw the dead , workers , some of them still in their old army tunics and military boots , former comrades , something inside me tore . ]
#3996 | T: 26 | I: 6 | [ " the woman is quite willing to forgo the eggs , but she pleads to have back the bacon , " well , give , me the bacon , at least . ]
#6808 | T: 26 | I: 6 | [ but then all at once his face is before me , bright and cold , changed , harsh , strange —— i know him no more and stagger back , out . ]
#601 | T: 26 | I: 7 | [ it is apparent that they have not long been in the war ; they are still collecting souvenirs , shoulder - straps , badges , belt buckles , decorations , uniform buttons . ]
#3353 | T: 26 | I: 7 | [ her hands are clasped ; weary , toil - worn hands , with a soft , wrinkled skin , where the veins stand out bluish ; hands become so for my sake . ]
#6009 | T: 26 | I: 10 | [ who will think then that in such whispering charm , in such fragrance , such skin , that other thing , syphilis , may be in ambush , watching , hidden , crouching , waiting ? ]
#186 | T: 25 | I: 1 | [ with a well - aimed kick willy tosses one up and slices it in two in mid - air with one cut from a spade . ]
#527 | T: 25 | I: 1 | [ on the other hand none is so young as albert trosske or karl bröger — and they are by no means the youngest of us . ]
#792 | T: 25 | I: 1 | [ the entrenching tool claps with every step — monotonous melody — in vain — in vain —— only ledderhose is as happy as a lark . ]
#1346 | T: 25 | I: 1 | [ with a click willy slips his safety - catch and from his belt takes the hand - grenade he still carries as an iron ration . ]
#1635 | T: 25 | I: 1 | [ — you have feet — i have none —— he still thinks of nothing else — and his mother is wholly taken up with him . ]
#2079 | T: 25 | I: 1 | [ in front of kosole ' s house we whistle and cat - call until at last he comes fuming to the window in his nightshirt . ]
#2091 | T: 25 | I: 1 | [ " but god help you if you ' re pulling my leg ——" five minutes later he joins us below and learns how matters stand . ]
#3359 | T: 25 | I: 1 | [ it has never occurred to her that this same threatened child has been just such another wild beast to the children of yet other mothers . ]
#4469 | T: 25 | I: 1 | [ off and on she shoots a glance at karl ' s sleigh - horse — that is the girl with the latest - fashioned blouse . ]
#5935 | T: 25 | I: 1 | [ we turn down linden street and go in at a house that has a small cheerless front garden with a few miserable shrubs in it . ]
#564 | T: 25 | I: 2 | [ " why i was there once myself for a couple of years ——" the sergeant smiles , as though that identified him once and for all . ]
#978 | T: 25 | I: 2 | [ the rest of us must make our own way , for the railway services are so irregular that we cannot be transported farther in a body . ]
#1476 | T: 25 | I: 2 | [ the third time they sewed the eggs inside their cloaks , put the sausages into their blouses and hid the potatoes in pockets inside their skirts . ]
#1965 | T: 25 | I: 2 | [ so we remain , until at last the three musicians pack up their things and the waitress moves sourly in ever diminishing circles round our table . ]
#4746 | T: 25 | I: 2 | [ " i ' ve got the old i sat at home all the afternoon and tried to do something , but nothing has come of it . ]
#4980 | T: 25 | I: 2 | [ — they told us it was for honour , and meant the quarrels and the will to power of a handful of ambitious diplomats and princes . ]
#4981 | T: 25 | I: 2 | [ — they told us it was for the nation , and meant the need for activity on the part of out - of - work generals ! ]

#5393 | T: 25 | I: 2 | [ " perhaps she means she wasn ' t quite sure what she was doing at the time — as if she dreamed it , you know . ]
#5439 | T: 25 | I: 2 | [ he will put on a pious face when i look at him , and as soon as my back is turned he will be making grimaces . ]

#6725 | T: 25 | I: 2 | [ she seemed to me to have grown even more beautiful ; it felt as if those days had come to life again in one human being . ]
#7035 | T: 25 | I: 2 | [ we look out over the town to the long row of poplars , where as boys we used to build tents and play at red indians . ]
#7238 | T: 25 | I: 2 | [ had this man "— i point to albert —" had this man not been trained to shoot men , he would not have shot one now . ]

#3857 | T: 21 | I: 4 | [ we fix on an outlying spot and there leave the train , separating , always in pairs , to scrounge systematically over the countryside . ]
#5209 | T: 21 | I: 4 | [ then two or three more farmers come in , wink at one another , greet us , and also invite us to a glass . ]
#5517 | T: 21 | I: 4 | [ i wrench the thing from him , seize him by the front of his jacket , and shout angrily : " what the hell ! ]

#7055 | T: 21 | I: 4 | [ " hullo , ernst , " says bruno , giving the little girl a pat and leaving her to go on with her play . ]
#1989 | T: 21 | I: 5 | [ we hear the old familiar tinkle of the office door opening , and out comes becker , little , grey , and unkempt as ever . ]
#2697 | T: 21 | I: 5 | [ " why , " i say , to regain his favour , " surely an old soldier can do that much for himself , eh ? ]
#3223 | T: 21 | I: 5 | [ there the men greet him , but there is an air of constraint ; they talk warily , looking past him , choosing their words . ]
#7330 | T: 21 | I: 5 | [ patriotism , duty , home — we said all these things to ourselves again and again , merely to endure it , to justify it . ]
#1236 | T: 21 | I: 6 | [ " oh , boys , " says he , stretching his arms , " where shall we all be sitting a year hence , i wonder . ]
#1495 | T: 21 | I: 6 | [ " " oh , yes , of course , " i say , setting myself upright in my chair again , " i forgot about that . ]

#31 | T: 20 | I: 1 | [ but there is nothing audible beyond the dull rumour of gun - fire and the high piping of the shells . ]
#397 | T: 20 | I: 1 | [ and when the wind blows away the stench of blood and of gangrene one can smell the pungent ploughed earth . ]
#617 | T: 20 | I: 1 | [ something that has survived all the chances of war and death has flashed between them — the spirit of trade . ]
#728 | T: 20 | I: 1 | [ " weil starts to explain how soldiers ' councils have already been set up in a number of the regiments . ]
#902 | T: 20 | I: 1 | [ he has lit a great fire of weeds in a field and thrown on a few handfuls of scrounged potatoes . ]
#1186 | T: 20 | I: 1 | [ he lives in a village a few stations this side of the town and so has to get out sooner . ]
#1536 | T: 20 | I: 1 | [ my heart is beating fast as i open the door and sense the smell of the books in the darkness . ]
#1798 | T: 20 | I: 1 | [ but something more is in their look now — hope for a future — elusive expectancy of a new life . ]
#2396 | T: 20 | I: 1 | [ to him it is a hell of a joke to see his superior officer go hopping about at his bidding . ]
#2600 | T: 20 | I: 1 | [ on the other hand a row of faded fashion plates set out behind the suit of clothes holds him spellbound . ]
#2714 | T: 20 | I: 1 | [ it is often so with these army - office pen - pushers — they are prone to swords and spurs . ]
#2780 | T: 20 | I: 1 | [ all the same it riles me not to be able to show them in one telling thrust what i think . ]
#3023 | T: 20 | I: 1 | [ — but we do require that you shall not again try to prescribe what we shall think of these things . ]
#3107 | T: 20 | I: 1 | [ and for once show the bloody turnip - eaters what a real front - line man - eater looks like . ]

#4444 | T: 20 | I: 1 | [ " do you remember the evenings when we used to race along here one after the other from the gym . ]
#4642 | T: 20 | I: 1 | [ i would rather we had never come together again — then at least we might still have preserved a memory . ]
#5164 | T: 20 | I: 1 | [ i go over and point out that he has made the bottom stroke of the l a trifle too long . ]

#5797 | T: 20 | I: 1 | [ after a time i begin to be disturbed and have a feeling as if someone else were in the room . ]
#5801 | T: 20 | I: 1 | [ from its slightly wavy surface there looks out at me a face with dark shadows and black eye - hollows . ]

#6686 | T: 20 | I: 1 | [ " i shake him like a sackful of old rags and bump his backside against the knob of the door . ]
#6783 | T: 20 | I: 1 | [ then he drew a chair to the window and set a basin with warm water on the table beside him . ]
#6971 | T: 20 | I: 1 | [ and without any investigation at all their own comrades beat them to death with clubs one night in the forest . ]
#6998 | T: 20 | I: 1 | [ i have been putting all my money for years now on one card and the stake has always been life . ]

#4921 | T: 19 | I: 2 | [ we hadn ' t enough strength left to hate , we were so weary and burned up with the war . ]
#4979 | T: 19 | I: 2 | [ — they told us it was for the fatherland , and meant the schemes of annexation of a greedy industry . ]

#6110 | T: 19 | I: 2 | [ between the streets over the entrance is the name in illuminated letters : astoria dance - palace and wine saloon . ]
#6124 | T: 19 | I: 2 | [ albert and i look at each other ; without a word we set off in the direction of the shots . ]
#6885 | T: 19 | I: 2 | [ i breathe very lightly and slowly , even so my breath moves their wings — but they stay with me . ]
#6930 | T: 19 | I: 2 | [ but it is true that we do not yet know what surrender is , we have not felt its strength . ]

#7404 | T: 19 | I: 2 | [ in the rekindling of memory the months shrivel up like paper , they are consumed and vanish away like smoke . ]
#7454 | T: 19 | I: 2 | [ we walk down a path through the woods — willy and kosole in front , valentin and i behind them . ]
#7631 | T: 19 | I: 2 | [ shadows flit about among the trees and up from the woods come cries , as though wounded were lying there . ]
#549 | T: 19 | I: 3 | [ but now , under the pitying eyes of these americans , we perceive how much in vain it has all been . ]
#688 | T: 19 | I: 3 | [ then max weil appears in the courtyard , waving a newspaper and shouting : " there ' s revolution in berlin ! ]

#3936 | T: 19 | I: 3 | [ but now the woman turns on us and lets fly , hammer and tongs , like a tinsmith in full swing . ]
#3979 | T: 19 | I: 3 | [ i say to myself , might , always might — and be it no more than an inch it is merciless . ]
#4026 | T: 19 | I: 3 | [ but instead of that , he goes and plants himself right alongside his colleague , lest willy should cut up rough . ]
#4129 | T: 19 | I: 3 | [ she was grown too scraggy for you , so you said , and now you were all out for fat ones . ]
