The Line: "The evening soared into the sky like a flock of birds and darkness laid its wet garland upon me. I was exhausted, and, crouching beneath the crown of death, walked on, begging fate for the simplest ability--the ability to kill a man" (163).

I want a saber
and a bayonet and a
war to call my own.
