Once a man clambering to the housetops <br />Appealed to the heavens. <br />With strong voice he called to the deaf spheres; <br />A warrior's shout he raised to the suns. <br />Lo, at last, there was a dot on the clouds, <br />And -- at last and at last -- <br />-- God -- the sky was filled with armies.<br /><br />Stephen Crane<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/once-a-man-clambering-to-the-housetops-2/
