"Beauty of style and harmony,good grace and good rythym depends on its simplicity"
These words of plato rang in my ears,
As I took a look at Ada,
Sprawled across my bed.
...
Give me the scorn of the stars and a peak defiant;
Wail of the pines and a wind with the shout of a giant;
Night and a trail unknown and a heart reliant.
Give me to live and love in the old, bold fashion;
A soldier's billet at night and a soldier's ration;
A heart that leaps to the fight with a soldier's passion.
