Some are not so lucky: in extremis, evils or devils appear, with demoralization the result.

The present can also be secured by planning or scheming. In war, the time of which is mooded by anticipated danger, the present all but disappears into an intense futuring. Sherman said of Grant that he did not think at all, in the sense of large abstractions or images. When Grant “thought” of Vicksburg and tomorrow, between here and there and now and then a thousand sequential details of supply, movement, minutes, people occurred to him. He lived in these anticipated events, attentions, and orders. He was also said not to “look back.” Nor does one simply look forward in such a full futuring: it is more as if one were constantly in the future, though it is only the imagined future. Even such detailed planners as Grant and Napoleon have to wait for the actual future to befall.
