In the first year of World War One, the German army had pushed so deep into the territory of the Triple Entent and its allies that the Germans had overrun Belgium and most of Eastern France, pushing to within 20 miles of the heart of the French capital of Paris.
In the eyes of the world, a Central Powers victory on the Western Front seemed almost inevitable, and the German army (which had very quickly adapted to the new modern style of industrial warfare) seemed unbeatable. However this was changed by the First Battle of the Marne, wherein Six French Armies as well as an army of the British Expeditionary force repelled the German attackers. The German momentum was broken by the catastrophic defeat and the image of German invincibility was shattered, allowing the Triple Entente to push North East, driving the Germans away from the French capital.
Hello. You forgot to enter the answer options. The options are:
Hearts beat in time to funeral marches.
Our hearts beat like drums.
Many things take a long time.
Each day we move closer to death.
Answer:
Each day we move closer to death.
Explanation:
The verse of "A Psalm of Life" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow shows that our life is finite and that each day lived is one day less, because although we make art, we get emotional, we do fun things that fill our hearts with joy and happiness , each beat of our heart is one beat less in the time that we are left alive, leaving us closer and closer to death.
This is very evident in the line "[Our hearts] are beating Funeral marches to the grave."
