From Little Missions, Septimus Despencer 1932
It is no bad principle for the Westerner in studying the politics of Eastern Europe always to lay his ear to the ground. Nine times out of ten it is on the soil that the real changes are in progress, of which the political developments are but the symptom.

From Little Missions, Septimus Despencer 1932
. . . the Hapsburg Emperor was very much more than the head of his bureaucracy. He was the symbol of an idea, and the pivot of a system, on which the lives and activities of ten distinct and different races from the Alps to the Carpathians and from the Danube to the Mediterranean were built up.
Wha idea ? It was the idea which is struggling for emergence in this first half of the twentieth century—the idea that the nation is not the be-all and the end-all of political thought, that it is possible and on many grounds desirable to transcend the limits of nationality, and that political units can exist and prosper of a non-national or international basis. The idea, and the dynasty which symbolized and incorporated it, dated back indeed to the Middle and Dark Ages and the internationalism of the Catholic Church : but they had shown such power of adaptation and had survived so many vicissitudes, including the epidemic of nationalism in the nineteenth century, that many believed they were destined to bear new fruits in the twentieth century. The strain of five years of " world war ' was too much. Nationalism won its last victory. The dynasty collapsed, and the ten peoples—German, Hungarian, Czech, Polish, Rutene, Croat, Clovene, Serb, Italian, and Roumanian—who had live together under its ægis were regrouped in six separate and competing States.
