Excerpt from The Assault and Other War Poems From Ardours and EndurancesI have been accused in print, in conversation, in letters signed and unsigned, of militarism. It is said by those too lazy or too stupid to understand me, and by those who misinterpret for their own ends another's works, that I glorify war. I can forgive those who care so little for anything that they cannot be bothered with another's attempt at truth, but I cannot forgive those who wilfully misinterpret me. Fliers in the face of truth, perjurers, I do not praise war I glorify not those who make war, but those who endure it not those vices which lead to it, but those virtues which it rediscovers! Think. Con sider my generation. Am I likely to love war, more particularly this war Which generation has been most swept away 2 Those young men who were between the ages of nineteen and twenty-six when the sword was drawn. Do I not belong to that generation 3 Go you and call in the streets of the universities, citadelsof ghosts. Have I not reason to love war?
