“The sword is the pride of man....War is the climax of human ingenuity, the object of supreme efforts.”
Abraham Heschel, The Prophets
Prince and page, sot and sage,
Hark to the roar of War!
Poet, professor and circus clown,
Chimney-sweeper and fop o' the town,
Into the pot and be melted down:
Into the pot of War!
