cause of the great war

by david lloyd george (excerpt)

before she entered the war britain made every effort to avoid it; begged, supplicated, and entreated that there should be no conflict.

i was a member of the cabinet at the time, and i remember the earnest endeavours we made to persuade germany and austria not to precipitate europe into this welter of blood. we begged them to summon a european conference to consider.

had that conference met arguments against provoking such a catastrophe were so overwhelming that there would never have been a war. germany knew that, so she rejected the conference, although austria was prepared to accept it. she suddenly declared war, and yet we are the people who wantonly provoked this war, in order to attack germany.

we begged germany not to attack belgium, and produced a treaty, signed by the king of prussia, as well as the king of england, pledging himself to protect belgium against an invader, and we said, "if you invade belgium we shall have no alternative but to defend it."

the enemy invaded belgium, and now they say, "why, forsooth, you, england, provoked this war."

it is not quite the story of the wolf and the lamb. i will tell you why—because germany expected to find a lamb and found a lion.

"the children's hour" by henry wadsworth longfellow between the dark and the daylight, when the night is beginning to lower, comes a pause in the day's occupations, that is known as the children's hour. i hear in the chamber above me the patter of little feet, the sound of a door that is opened, and voices soft and sweet. from my study i see in the lamplight, descending the broad hall stair, grave alice, and laughing allegra, and edith with golden hair. a whisper, and then a silence: yet i know by their merry eyes they are plotting and planning together to take me by surprise. a sudden rush from the stairway, a sudden raid from the hall! by three doors left unguarded they enter my castle wall! they climb up into my turret o'er the arms and back of my chair; if i try to escape, they surround me; they seem to be everywhere. they almost devour me with kisses, their arms about me entwine, till i think of the bishop of bingen in his mouse-tower on the rhine! do you think, o blue-eyed banditti, because you have scaled the wall, such an old mustache as i am is not a match for you all! i have you fast in my fortress, and will not let you depart, but put you down into the dungeon in the round-tower of my heart. and there will i keep you forever, yes, forever and a day, till the walls shall crumble to ruin, and moulder in dust away! which literary device does longfellow use most frequently in the poem? a. simile b. metaphor c. repetition d. personification
