I can’t blame the war for coming between us.
I said: Adventure’s the blood of young manhood!
You said: Draw it, then – Doc Bellum’s constant prescription, leech at ready.
I said: Patriotism’s the formula for a love that crosses the borders of the personal.
You said: And war is the necessary antidote.
I said: Duty’s the pole star of civilization.
You said: Warfare, its magnetic opposite!
And so it went, battle after battle.
