    I slept, and dreamed that life was Beauty;
    I woke, and found that life was Duty.
    —Ellen Sturgis Hooper (1816–1841)

    Oh, God, why do they do this to us? We only wanted to live, you and I. Why should they send us out to fight each other? If we threw away these rifles and these uniforms, you could be my brother.
