Présentation de l'éditeur
Why of War, Othou that lovest rather Peace of roses in a rain-sweet garden, Peace of moonlit silver-heaving waters, All the lovely looks of little children? What strange mandate Bids thee sing of War, who lovest these things? How of War, Ofaint-heart, thou that grievest Over every gentle creature wounded, All soft eyes of pain and puzzled sorrow, All the lithe limbs marred, the wild wings broken? What black magic Makes thee brood on War, who dreadest these things? Is it but the haunting of the bugles, Floating memories of the war-time bugles Blowing over those far fields of childhood, Pleasant in the foolish ear of childhood, When the sword-hilt Seemed but made to shine and hold a jewel? Then the inward Voice that gave the mandate, -B ade me sing of battle, bade me answer: Well I know the symbol of the sword-hilt, Know the Cross of sacrifice and service; See the heart s-blood Burning where the child beheld the jewel. I have hated with the perfect hatred All the work of Hell in all the ages; Hated all the hate and all the horror; Yet the Vision of the Face of faces, God-in-M anhood, Shines through Hell, and I have seen the Vision.
