    Jesus, after healing ten lepers.

    If all the year were playing holidays,
    To sport would be as tedious as to work;
    But when they seldom come, they wished for come,
    And nothing pleaseth but rare accidents.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    No more shall the war cry sever,
    Or the winding rivers be red:
    They banish our anger forever
    When they laurel the graves of our dead!
    Under the sod and the dew,
    Waiting the Judgment Day:—
    Love and tears for the Blue;
    Tears and love for the Gray.
    Francis Miles Finch (1827–1907)
