HOW TO VISUALIZE A ROLE She knows she must appeal to Clive through something beyond the mere physical aspects of the country she loves so deeply—"this blessed land" —something beyond "the emptiness of words." She must make him see the England of valiant men and noble deeds. It is as if she were hearing a mighty surge of martial music, as she cries that England is "Monty and the boys coming up the road from Kent . . . England—helping the weaker men into the boats instead of getting in themselves!" Of course, she is referring here to what happened at Dunkirk. Eng- lish manhood is England—as exemplified by Monty and all those brave officers and men who waited on that death-ridden beach until the last wounded Tommy who could be saved was carried to the boats. "Whatever this man is . . . blood and bone . . . mind and heart and spirit— England made him, every part of him! Even if he doesn't under- stand the other things, he would understand that . . ." Then, carried away for the moment, she forgets her fear of being called "sentimental"—"and when he says the word —England—it must be for him, as it is for me—like music that's rich beyond the power of music." 115
