"
Well
,
"
Amory
considered
,
"
I
'm
not
sure
that
the
war
itself
had
any
great
effect
on
either
you
or
me
--
but
it
certainly
ruined
the
old
backgrounds
,
sort
of
killed
individualism
out
of
our
generation
.
"
Tom
looked
up
in
surprise
.
"
Yes
it
did
,
"
insisted
Amory
.
"
I
'm
not
sure
it
did
n't
kill
it
out
of
the
whole
world
.
Oh
,
Lord
,
what
a
pleasure
it
used
to
be
to
dream
I
might
be
a
really
great
dictator
or
writer
or
religious
or
political
leader
--
and
now
even
a
Leonardo
da
Vinci
or
Lorenzo
de
Medici
could
n't
be
a
real
old-fashioned
bolt
in
the
world
.
Life
is
too
huge
and
complex
.
The
world
is
so
overgrown
that
it
ca
n't
lift
its
own
fingers
,
and
I
was
planning
to
be
such
an
important
finger
--
"
"
I
do
n't
agree
with
you
,
"
Tom
interrupted
.
"
There
never
were
men
placed
in
such
egotistic
positions
since
--
oh
,
since
the
French
Revolution
.
"
Amory
disagreed
violently
.
"
You
're
mistaking
this
period
when
every
nut
is
an
individualist
for
a
period
of
individualism
.
Wilson
has
only
been
powerful
when
he
has
represented
;
he
's
had
to
compromise
over
and
over
again
.
Just
as
soon
as
Trotsky
and
Lenin
take
a
definite
,
consistent
stand
they
'll
become
merely
two-minute
figures
like
Kerensky
.
Even
Foch
has
n't
half
the
significance
of
Stonewall
Jackson
.
War
used
to
be
the
most
individualistic
pursuit
of
man
,
and
yet
the
popular
heroes
of
the
war
had
neither
authority
nor
responsibility
:
Guynemer
and
Sergeant
York
.
How
could
a
schoolboy
make
a
hero
of
Pershing
?
A
big
man
has
no
time
really
to
do
anything
but
just
sit
and
be
big
.
"
"
Then
you
do
n't
think
there
will
be
any
more
permanent
world
heroes
?
"
"
Yes
--
in
history
--
not
in
life
.
Carlyle
would
have
difficulty
getting
material
for
a
new
chapter
on
'
The
Hero
as
a
Big
Man
.
'
"
"
Go
on
.
I
'm
a
good
listener
to-day
.
"
"
People
try
so
hard
to
believe
in
leaders
now
,
pitifully
hard
.
But
we
no
sooner
get
a
popular
reformer
or
politician
or
soldier
or
writer
or
philosopher
--
a
Roosevelt
,
a
Tolstoi
,
a
Wood
,
a
Shaw
,
a
Nietzsche
,
than
the
cross-currents
of
criticism
wash
him
away
.
My
Lord
,
no
man
can
stand
prominence
these
days
.
It
's
the
surest
path
to
obscurity
.
People
get
sick
of
hearing
the
same
name
over
and
over
.
