"My soul, there is a country
Far beyond the stars,
Where stands a winged sentry
All skillful in the wars;
There, above noise and danger,
Sweet Peace is crown'd with smiles,
And one born in a manger
Commands the beauteous files."
Henry Vaughan (1622-1695)

"For the great Gaels of Ireland
Are the men that God made mad,
For all their wars are merry,
And all their songs are sad."
G.K. Chesterton (1874-1936)

"Fierce wars and faithful loves shall moralize my song."
Edmind Spenser (1552-1599)

"It seemed that out of battle I escaped
Down some profound dull tunnel, long since scooped
Through granites which titanic wars had groined."
Wilfred Owen (1893-1918)
