That every man in arms should wish to be?
It is the generous spirit, who, when brought
Among the tasks of real life, hath wrought

Whose high endeavors are an inward light
That makes the path before him always bright:
Who, with a natural instinct to discern
What knowledge can perform, is diligent to learn;
And in himself posses his own desire;”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
