    Morning brings back the heroic ages.

    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

    Our age is an age of moderate virtue
    And of moderate vice
    When men will not lay down the Cross
    Because they will never assume it.
    Yet nothing is impossible, nothing,
    To men of faith and conviction.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
