Vol. III. (of XXI.) by Thomas Carlyle]@TWC D-Link book Vol. III. (of XXI.) 3/23 Pedant Chroniclers give him the name HECTOR, "Joachim Hector,"-- to match that of CICERO and that of ACHILLES. A man of solid structure, this our Hector, in body and mind: extensive cheeks, very large heavy-laden face; capable of terrible bursts of anger, as his kind generally were. D.M. I.AE.," and Nephew of Friedrich the Wise,--had his sorrowfully valid reasons for the War; large force too, plenty of zealous copartners, Philip of Hessen and others; but no generalship, or not enough, for such a business. Big Army, as is apt enough to happen, fell short of food; Kaiser Karl hung on the outskirts, waiting confidently till it came to famine. |
