To every just or larger end,
Whence should come the trust and cheer?

Age finds place in the rear.
All wars are boyish, and are fought by boys,
The champions and enthusiasts of the state:”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)

I also say it is good to fall, battles are lost in the same spirit in which they are won.”
