Not only that we face in a fair field Our valiant foe and all his deadly tools, But also that we turn disdainful backs On that poor world we scorn yet die to shield -- That world of cowards, hypocrites, and fools." Excerpt from "Sonnet XI" by Alan Seeger, an American poet who died on July 4, 1916, fighting for France in World War I. |
