    This and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs; when he first appears he is a protector.

    In Memoriam (Easter, 1915)

    The flowers left thick at nightfall in the wood
    This Eastertide call into mind the men,
    Now far from home, who, with their sweethearts, should
    Have gathered them and will do never again.
