Excerpt from Florence Nightingale

In these surroundings, those who had been long inured to scenes of human suffering - surgeons with a world wide knowledge Of agonies, soldiers familiar with fields of carnage, missionaries with remembrances of famine and of plague - yet found a depth of horror which they had never known before. There were moments, there were places, in the Barrack Hospital at Scutari, where the strongest hand was struck with trembling, and the boldest eye would turn away its gaze.
