centuries, and contending parties still continue the struggle, but the
real significance of the struggle and its true motive force are hardly

technically on the same side are separated by differences wide and deep,
both of ideal and plan of action; while, conversely, men technically
opposed have perhaps more in common than we realise in a sense deeper
