Often, when an idea has gained a powerful hold on Andreyev, he pursues
it a long time, presenting it under various aspects, until at last
it assumes its final form, rounded and completed, as it were, in some
figure or symbol. As such it appears either as the leading theme of an
entire story or drama, or as an important subordinate theme. Thus
we have seen that the idea of death finds concrete expression in the
character of Lazarus. The idea of loneliness, of the isolation of the
individual from all other human beings, even though he be physically
surrounded by large numbers, is embodied in the story of 'The City.'
Similarly the conception of the mystery and the indifference by which
man finds himself confronted is definitely set forth in the figure of
_Someone in Gray_ in 'The Life of Man.'

"No, it wasn"t," she replied vehemently

"No, it wasn"t," she replied vehemently. "I hated you for thinking
English women would not aid their men to fight, and I wanted never to see
you again. But do you remember when I said that the glory of war was in
women"s blood? There was a certain amount of truth in it at the
beginning; for when I first saw the wounded arrive I was madly excited.
I wanted to shout and cheer. But as the months have gone on, and I have
seen our soldiers maimed and bleeding and suffering, while thousands of
their women at home have simply broken loose and lost all sense of
decency or self-respect--oh, what"s the use?"

[Footnote 6: 'Dramatic' has recently become one of the most overworked
words in the vocabulary of journalism. It constantly appears, not only
in the text of the picturesque reporter, but in head-lines and on
bulletin-boards. When, on July 20, 1911, Mr. Asquith wrote to Mr.
Balfour to inform him that the King had guaranteed the creation of
peers, should it prove necessary for the passing of the Parliament Bill,
one paper published the news under this head-line: 'DRAMATIC ANNOUNCEMENT
BY THE PRIME MINISTER,' and the parliamentary correspondent of another
paper wrote: 'With dramatic suddenness and swiftness, the Prime Minister
hurled his thunderbolt at the wavering Tory party yesterday.' As a
matter of fact, the letter was probably not 'hurled' more suddenly or
swiftly than the most ordinary invitation to dinner: nor can its
contents have been particularly surprising to any one. It was probably
the conclusiveness, the finality, of the announcement that struck these
writers as 'dramatic.' The letter put an end to all dubiety with a
'short, sharp shock.' It was, in fact, crisp. As a rule, however,
'dramatic' is employed by the modern journalist simply as a rather
pretentious synonym for the still more hackneyed 'startling.']

[Footnote 2: Mr. Blades enumerates only ten, but between the publication
of his work in 1863 and the appearance in 1880 of a more popular one, an
eleventh copy turned up. It is described further on. As both editions of
Mr. Blades" book are frequently cited, it may be stated here that where
the reference is to the page only, the one volume edition of 1880
is meant.]
