A QUESTION OF WAR
War is some fine madness,
A tale of vanity's woe;
But from that great insanity
Can a greater sanity grow -
As successive waves of humanity
In their tides ebb to and fro?
Is the cruel price of each sacrifice
The cost of what we must know?

It has never been lost on me how the lunacy and brutality
of war seem destined to advance knowledge and the
products of progress at a rate not experienced in peacetime.
