How
frighteningly few are the persons whose death would
spoil our appetite and make the world seem empty.

A few
can touch the magic string, and noisy fame is proud
to win them: Alas for those that never sing, but die
with all their music in them!

Our
dead brothers still live for us and bid us think of
life, not death -- of life to which in their youth
they lent the passion and glory of Spring. As I
listen, the great chorus of life and joy begins
again, and amid the awful orchestra of seen and
unseen powers and destinies of good and evil, our
trumpets, sound once more a note of daring, hope,
and will.
