Pàgina 13 - There's but one gift that all our dead desire. One gift that men can give, and that's a dream. Unless we, too, can burn with that same fire Of sacrifice: die to the things that seem; "Die to the little hatreds; die to greed; Die to the old ignoble selves we knew; Die to the base contempts of sect and creed, And rise again, like these, with souls as true.
