    “Do not weep, maiden, for war is kind”
    —Stephen Crane (1871–1900)

    “You had to face your ends when young
    ‘Twas wine or women, or some curse
    But never made a poorer song
    That you might have a heavier purse,
    Nor gave loud service to a cause
    That you might have a troop of friends.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
