The Foundations
IF you have built castles in the air your work need not be lost; that

Ah, Well
AH, well, there is just this world and the next, and then all our
troubles will be over.
An old lady in Lady Oxford's Memoirs
Fight Something Ere We Die
/^OME ! Let us lay a crazy lance in rest,
\^j And tilt at windmills under a wild sky !
For who would live so petty and unblest
That dare not tilt at something ere he die,
Rather than, screened by safe majority,
Preserve his little life to little ends,
And never raise a rebel battle-cry !
John Galsworthy
The Lonely Flower

I inadvertently uprooted, though we were on a bleak hillside in
Tibet, where no human being was likely to see the flower again.
Sir Francis Younghusband
80 Many Foes
So many are your foes, their arrows shroud
The very sun with an eclipsing cloud.
We*ll fight them in the dark then! and the hord&
Illumine with the lightning of the Sword.
