Temple of Ares
I watched the endless procession of stalwart youth, resplendent in their panoply gathered, a steelly passion filling resolute gait. And I asked of them, "To what place does such noble assemblage march?" "To the Temple of Ares, and Glory's Gate, to burn of names in Honor's book That they may be reverenced by heroes," said they. A thousand sundry banners danced in the morning breeze, And the sun this day was no more radiant than hard Youth's gaze which beheld it.
