Do not weep, maiden, for war is kind. Because your lover threw wild hands toward the sky And the affrighted steed ran on alone, Do not weep. War is kind. Hoarse, booming drums of the regiment, Little souls who thirst for fight, These men were born to drill and die. The unexplained glory flies above them, Great is the battle-god, great, and his kingdom -A field where a thousand corpses lie. Do not weep, babe, for war is kind. Stephen Crane

XXVIThere was set before me a mighty hill, And long days I climbed. Through regions of snow. When I had before me the summit-view, It seemed my labor. Had been to see gardens. Lying at impossible distances. Stephen Crane
XXIVI saw a man pursuing the horizon; Round and round they sped. I was disturbed at this; I accosted the man."It is futile," I said,"You can never-"You lie" he cried. And ran on. Stephen Crane
IVYes, I have a thousand tongues, And nine and nighty-nine lie. Though I strive to use the one, It will make no melody at my will, But is dead in my mouth. Stephen Crane
Stephen Crane quote: "Half of tradition is a lie."
