"You had thought of solipsism, and imagined the structure to
be populated--on your level--by only, terribly, one."

I'd appreciate any comments etc..

In 1915 Edmund Blunden visited the "Old" British Line at
Festubert and wrote this:

"Its weather-beaten sandbag wall was already venerable. It
shared the past with the defenses of
Troy. The skulls which spades disturbed about it were in a
manner coeval with those of the most
distant wars." (From _The War Poets_, Robert Giddings; Orion
Books 1988, p.41.)
