“these heroic happy dead
who rushed like lions to the roaring slaughter
they did not stop to think they died instead
then shall the voice of liberty be mute?
He spoke. And drank rapidly a glass of water”

Even as the snow that lies within the shade;
For she is no more moved than is the stone
By the sweet season which makes warm the hills”
