I don't like any of the feelings war breeds: patriotism; communal &c, all sentimental and emotional parodies of our real feelings. But then, we're in for it. Every day we have our raids: at night the bloodhounds are out. I open my windows when I hear the Germans, & and the broad stalks of light rise all over the meadow feeling for them -- a strange early morning spectacle. One sees nothing but the feelers of lights. Then the drone buzz booms away, rather like a dentists drill. No invasion so far.
