"Arsiero, Asiago…"

by Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway

Arsiero, Asiago,
Half a hundred more,
Little border villages,
Back before the war,
Monte Grappa, Monte Corno,
Twice a dozen such,
In the piping times of peace
Didn't come to much.

    The Fortitude Of The North
    by Herman Melville
    Under the Disaster of the Second Manassas They take no shame for dark defeat While prizing yet each victory won, Who fight for the Right through all retreat, Nor pause until their work is done.
