Quote

They only the victory win, Who have fought the good fight and have vanquished the demon that tempts us within Who have held to their faith unseduced by the prize that the world holds on high Who have dared for a high cause to suffer, resist, fight -- if need be, to die.

I sing the hymn of the conquered, who fell in the Battle of Life,-The hymn of the wounded, the beaten, who died overwhelmed in the strife....The hymn of the low and the humble, the weary, the broken in heart,Who strove and who failed, acting bravely a silent and desperate part.

The shadows of twilight grow, And the tiger’s ancient fierceness In my veins begins to flow.
