    And publishes to every Land
    The Work of an Almighty Hand.”

    “Swift blazing flag of the regiment,
    Eagle with crest of red and gold,
    These men were born to drill and die.
    Point for them the virtue of slaughter,
    Make plain to them the excellence of killing
    And a field where a thousand corpses lie.”
    —Stephen Crane (1871–1900)
