Give honor and glory and pitiful tears To all who fall in the deeds sublime; Their ghosts are many in the van _ of years, They vyere torn with Time in advance of Time. Oh, great is the hero who wins a a name, But greater many and many a time Some pale faced fellow who in shame, And let’s God finish the thoughts sublime. And great is the man with a sword undrawn, And good is the man who re frains from wine; But the man who fails and still fights on, Lo, he is the twin-born brother of mifte. " —Joaquin Miller.
