“... in America ... children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.”

“But some who this blithe mood present,
As on in lightsome files they fare,
Shall die experienced ere three days be spent—
Perish, enlightened by the vollied glare;
Or shame survive, and, like to adamant,
Thy after shock, Manassas, share.”
