The mist in my face,
When the snows begin, and the blasts denote
I am nearing the place,
The power of the night, the press of the storm,
The post of the foe;
Where he stands, the Arch Fear in a visible form,
Yet the strong man must go:”
—Robert Browning (1812–1889)

On Vimy Ridge; and when you fell that day
The war seemed over more for you than me,
But now for me than you the other way.”
