You have no limbs
Crying for stillness, you have no mind
Trembling with seraphim,
You have no death to come.”

Fit, while ye liv’d, for smell or ornament,
And after death for cures.
I follow straight without complaints or grief,
Since if my sent be good, I care not, if
It be as short as yours.”
—George Herbert (1593–1633)

As in a season of autumn.
The soldier falls.”
