Feelings Excited by some Military Manoeuvres at Verona - ZaunköniG - 18.06.2007 Feelings Excited by some Military Manoeuvres at Verona What is the lesson I have brought away After the moment's palpitating glee? What has this pomp of men, this strong array Of thousands and ten thousands been to me? Did I find nothing but the vision gay, The mere phenomenon that all could see? Did I feel nothing but the brute display Of power,--the show of centred energy? Trembling and humbled, I was taught how hard It is for our strait minds at once to scan The might of banded numbers, and regard The individual soul, the living man; To use mechanic multitudes, and yet Our common human feelings not forget! |
