Wikiquote:Quote of the day/November 4, 2011

From Wikiquote
 

Oh, Death was never enemy of ours!
We laughed at him, we leagued with him, old chum.
No soldier's paid to kick against His powers.
We laughed, — knowing that better men would come,
And greater wars: when each proud fighter brags
He wars on Death, for lives; not men, for flags.

~ Wilfred Owen ~
