Page 15 - We join no feeling and attach no form! As if the soldier died without a wound; As if the fibres of this godlike frame Were gored without a pang; as if the wretch, Who fell in battle, doing bloody deeds, Passed off to Heaven, translated and not killed; As though he had no wife to pine for him, No God to judge him!
Page 311 - Tis life, whereof our nerves are scant ; More life and fuller, that we want ;, No heart in which was healthful breath, Has ever truly longed for death.
