    “One year
    They sent a million here:
    Here men were drunk like water, burnt like wood.
    The fat of good
    And evil, the breast’s star of hope
    Were rendered into soap.”
    —Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)

    “The constellated sounds
    ran sprinkling on earth’s floor
    As the dark vault above
    with stars was spangled o’er.”
    —Robert Bridges (1844–1930)

    “You went to meet the shell’s embrace of fire
    On Vimy Ridge; and when you fell that day
    The war seemed over more for you than me,
    But now for me than you the other way.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
