No one noticed the solitary, wistful soldier peeling an orange with his teeth. Once this lean, long-legged lad could have taken the fruit in his hands and stripped its skin with his fingers. But that was in other years--years before war screamed into the world, mastered men, bent them to its vengeful, lustful will and left them, as it had left Paul, struck down and maimed in the Argonne. - The Foundling (pt. 1, ch. 1) [Books (First Lines)]
