Alan Seeger Quotes
But I've a rendezvous with Death At midnight in some flaming town, When Spring trips north again this year, And I to my pledged word am true, I shall not fail that rendezvous.
From a boy I gloated on existence. Earth to me Seemed all-sufficient and my sojourn there One trembling opportunity for joy.
At Earth's great market where Joy is trafficked in, Buy while thy purse yet swells with golden Youth.
So die as though your funeral Ushered you through the doors that led Into a stately banquet hall Where heroes banqueted.
Spirit of Beauty, whose sweet impulses, flung like rose of dawn across the sea, alone can flush the exalted consciousness with shafts of sensible divinity-light of the world, essential loveliness.
