Siegfried Sasson illustrates the dramatic transformation most soldiers went through after experiencing World War 1. Englishmen like Sasson initially thought themselves as involved in a heroic effort to defend liberalism and the British a hellish and pointless nightmare. Intellectuals like Paul Valery were also disillusioned by the war, and many feared that the West and its liberal values would not long survive. In the essay below, he makes allusion to the scene in which Hamlet ponders mortality while studying the skull that is all that remains of a man he had known in life.

Peter. I suppose you miss your friends and all.
Anne. It isn't just . . . (She breaks off, staring up at him for a second.) Isn't it funny, you and I? Here we’ve been seeing each other every minute for almost a year and a half, and this is the first time we've ever really talked. It helps a lot to have someone to talk to, don't you think? It helps you to let off steam.(continued)
Peter (Going to the door). Well, any time you want to let off steam, you can come into my room.
Anne (Following him). I can get up an awful lot of steam. You'll have to be careful how you say that.
Peter. It’s all right with me.
Anne. Do you mean it?
Peter. I said it, didn’t I?
your welcome have a wonderful day
Read the excerpt from The Common Sense of Bicycling: Bicycling for Ladies.
By straightening the knees and using the ankle movement freely, the rise of the knees may be lessened several inches. When the pedal is at the highest point, the toe should be raised and the heel lowered. . . . although the right pedal is at the highest point, the knee has made very little impression on the front skirt. The feet should be in line with the machine, turning neither in nor out. The knees must be kept pretty close to the machine and should not move laterally at any part of the circle. The arms should have a slight drop at the elbows. The handles should be about level with the saddle, but this will depend on relative length of arms and waist.
