“ L’apog�e de la prosp�rit� humaine, dans le sens superficiel et frivole du mot, semblait atteint. Depuis cinquante ans, l’�tablissement d�finitif de la grande f�d�ration asiatico-am�ricano-europ�enne et sa domination incontest�e sur ce qui restait encore, �� et l�, en Oc�anie ou dans l’Afrique Centrale, de barbarie inassimilable, avait habitu� tous les peuples, convertis en province, aux d�lices d’une paix uni-verselle et d�sormais imperturbable. Il n’avait pas fallu moins de cent cinquante ans de guerres pour aboutir � ce d�nouement merveilleux. Mais toutes ces horreurs �taient oubli�es ; et tant de batailles effroyables entre des arm�es de trois et quatre millions d’hommes, entre des trains de wagons cuirass�s, lanc�s � toute vapeur et faisant feu de toutes parts les uns contre les autres, entre des escadres sous-marines qui se foudroyaient �lectriquement, entre des flottes de ballons blind�s, harponn�s, crev�s par des torpilles a�riennes, pr�cipit�s des nues avec des milliers de parachutes brusquement ouverts qui se mitraillaient encore en tombant ensemble ; de tout ce d�lire belliqueux, il ne restait plus qu’un po�tique et confus souvenir. L’oubli est le commencement du bonheur, comme la crainte est le commencement de la sagesse... ” G. T.
