In ignorant good-will,
Her nights in argument
Until her voice grew shrill.”

To every just or larger end,
Whence should come the trust and cheer?

Age finds place in the rear.
All wars are boyish, and are fought by boys,
The champions and enthusiasts of the state:”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)

For precious identities of breath.”
