 Most of all she wished for a river they could swim in. There was a formality in swimming which she assumed was like being in a ballroom 1. But he had a different sense of rivers, had entered the Moro in silence and pulled the harness of cables attached to the folding Bailey bridge, the bolted steel panels of it slipping into the water behind him like a creature, and the sky then had lit up with shell fire and someone was sinking beside him in mid-river. Again and again the sappers dove for the lost pulleys, 


grappling hooks in the water among them, mud and surface and faces lit up by phosphorus flares 2 in the sky around them. All through the night, weeping and shouting, they had to stop each other going crazy. Their clothes full of winter river, (the bridge slowly eased into a road above their heads. )And two days later another river. Every river they came to was bridge-less, as if its name had been erased 3, as if the sky were starless, homes doorless. The sapper units slid in with ropes, carried cables over their shoulders and spannered the bolts, oil-covered to silence the metals, and then the army marched over. Drove over the prefabricated bridge with the sappers still in the water below. So often they were caught in midstream when the shells came, flaring 4 into mudbanks breaking apart the steel and iron into stones.
