“No more shall the war cry sever,
Or the winding rivers be red:
They banish our anger forever
When they laurel the graves of our dead!
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment Day:—
Love and tears for the Blue;
Tears and love for the Gray.”
—Francis Miles Finch (1827–1907)

body. That smell, you know, that gasoline smell. The whole hill. It smelled like ... victory.”

You feel so tired inside,
Your thoughts begin to shrivel up
Like leaves all brown and dried!”
