He saw a general on a black horse gazing over the lines of blue infantry at the green woods which veiled his problems. An aide galloped furiously, dragged his horse suddenly to a halt, saluted, and presented a paper. It was, for a wonder, precisely like a historical painting.
This quotation is describing war as honorable. "He saw a general on a black horse gazing over the lines of blue infantry at the green woods which veiled his problems." The general was described as an honorable figure on a black horse gazing over the battle field. The general is also described as a strategist, trying to find the problems that are happening and sending reinforcements. Also when the aide presented the paper, the author described it as an honor to get the paper. "An aide galloped furiously, dragged his horse suddenly to a halt, saluted, and presented a paper. It was, for a wonder, precisely like a historical painting." The aide and paper were honorable. The paper was described as a historical painting and the aide rushed it here as fast as he could.
