'It was wrong to do this,' said the angel. <br />'You should live like a flower, <br />Holding malice like a puppy, <br />Waging war like a lambkin.' <br /> <br />'Not so,' quoth the man <br />Who had no fear of spirits; <br />'It is only wrong for angels <br />Who can live like the flowers, <br />Holding malice like the puppies, <br />Waging war like the lambkins.'<br /><br />Stephen Crane<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/it-was-wrong-to-do-this-said-the-angel-2/
