Excerpt from The Schleswig-Holstein War, Vol. 2 of 2
Not having a classical dictionary at hand, I cannot say whether the Ides of March are really past; but I know that, metaphorically, they may safely be said "to have come and gone." The sixty-seventh anniversary of the birth of his Majesty Frederick William Louis, King of Prussia, has passed over without becoming memorable in history as the anniversary also of a great German victory. The disgrace of the campaign of 1848-50 has not yet been wiped out in Danish blood; and the island of Alsen still remains disunited from Schleswig.
