And with a hostile step profane our sod!
We shall not shrink, my brothers, but go forth”

I would not even feed her worms if I could help it.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

Heads of the characters hammer through daisies;
Break in the sun till the sun breaks down,
And death shall have no dominion.”
