Excerpt from The Return of Arthur
The Great War, instead of giving new im pulse to my quest for Arthur, blotted him for the time from my mind. Yet in England where my friend and I chanced to be in August, that agonizing August, of 1914, as the tumultuous weeks passed, one of the most incredible things to witness at this altogether incredible time was the organization, or rather the creation of Kitchener's Mob, an army tumbled together with magical swiftness from every corner of England, an army unversed in everything military save honor and splendor of Spirit, the scorn of super-drilled German divisions, the salvation of a reeling world. It was Kitchener, the master personality of his time, who called this army into being. Yet it was not until long after Kitchener 's tragic death that revelation flashed blindingly upon me.
