Excerpt from The Wrack of the Storm
I tried to lift myself above the fray but, the higher I rose, the more I saw of the madness and the horror of it, of the justice of one cause and the infamy of the other. It is possible that one day, when time has wearied remembrance and restored the ruins, wise men will tell us that we were mistaken and that our standpoint was not enough; but they will say it because they will no longer know what we know, nor will they have seen what we have seen.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This powerful collection of essays and speeches by Maurice Maeterlinck explores the devastating impact of the First World War on both individuals and nations.

Maeterlinckās unflinching condemnation of German atrocities serves as an important historical document, providing a poignant and passionate perspective on one of the darkest chapters in human history. Through its exploration of the themes of heroism, sacrifice, and the enduring human spirit in the face of unimaginable adversity, this book offers a profound meditation on the nature of war and its far-reaching consequences.
