We shall renew the battle in the plain                           # 1
                  To-morrow;--red with blood will Xanthus be;
                  Hector and Ajax will be there again,
                  Helen will come upon the wall to see.

                  Then we shall rust in shade, or shine in strife,
                  And fluctuate 'twixt blind hopes and blind despairs,
                  And fancy that we put forth all our life,
                  And never know how with the soul it fares.
                                                        --Matthew Arnold
