    “Had she been worth the blood, the cramped cries, the little stuttering bravado,
    The gradual dulling of those Negro eyes,
    The sudden, overwhelming little-boyness in that barn?”
    —Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    Half a league onward,
    All in the valley of Death
    Rode the six hundred.
