Aftermath Of War

“

The war is over—the rebels are our countrymen again.

Ulysses S Grant

“

Word over all, beautiful as the sky,
Beautiful that war and all its deeds of carnage must in time be utterly lost,
That the hands of the sisters Death and Night incessantly softly wash again, and ever again, this soil’d world;
For my enemy is dead, a man divine as myself is dead.

Walt Whitman

“

Let us have peace.

Ulysses S Grant

“

Some quick to arm,
some for adventure,
some from fear of weakness,
some from fear of censure,
some for love of slaughter, in imagination,
learning later…
some in fear, learning love of slaughter;
Died some, pro patria,
non “dulce” non “et decor”…
walked eye-deep in hell
believing in old men’s lies, the unbelieving
came home, home to a lie.

Ezra Pound
