Ezra Pound Quote

Some quick to arm,
some for adventure,
some from fear of weakness,
some from fear of censure,
some for love of slaughter, in imagination,
learning later...
some in fear, learning love of slaughter;
Died some, pro patria,
non "dulce" non "et decor"... walked eye-deep in hell believing in old men's lies, the unbelieving came home, home to a lie.


Hugh Selwyn Mauberley. E.P. Ode pour l'élection de son sepulchre, IV
