"My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori."

-Dulce et Decorum Est, Wilfred Owen

Who cheer when soldier lads march by,
Sneak home and pray you'll never know
The hell where youth and laughter go."
