VERSES
THE ETERNAL VIGILANCE To the States or any one of them or any city of the States Resist much, obey little. Once unquestioning obedience, once fully enslaved, Once fully enslaved, no nation, State, city of this earth ever afterwards resumes its liberty. —Walt Whitman. IMMORTALITY The clods of battlefields are red With immortality: the dead In their magnificence arise To shine before us through the skies. And miracles of heavenly mirth In all the trees and plants on earth Rebuke from every flower and leaf Man’s vain impertinence of grief. —Charles Dalmon, “Elegy for Edward Thomas.”
