See that unfortunate soldier who is falling hurt to death ("tombe bless? ?...", Fr.) on the battlefield; he learns that his folks have vanquished and dies happy. He detached himself from himself (s'est d?tacher de lui-m?me", Fr.), has identified himself with something greater and more lasting than himself; his homeland ("patrie", Fr.); thus, while dying as an individual, he has the certainty to survive in a larger existence.
