Author Description

Excerpt from The New England Magazine, Vol. 22: March, 1900-August, 1900 Orn E onward by the fiery cloud of war, Horrid with spears and ashing swords, comes; With awful battle. Shout she bids arise All passions base, revenge and hate and lust For blood, with brutal cruelty and greed, All In the name of what man holds most high The love of God, of fatherland and home, Blinding men's eyes to all her hideousness By bright alluring promises of fame, And by the stirring music of her song.
