Not one corner of a foreign field <br />But a span as wide as Europe; <br />An appearance of a titan's grave, <br />And the length thereof a thousand miles, <br />It crossed all Europe like a mystic road, <br />Or as the Spirits' Pathway lieth on the night. <br />And I heard a voice crying <br />This is the Path of Glory.<br /><br />Wilfred Owen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-imperial-elegy/
