As soon as war is declared it will be impossible to hold the poets back. Rhyme is still the most effective drum. View quotes by Jean Giraudoux
Art, thou hast many infamies,
But not an infamy like this.
O snap the fife and still the drum
And show the monster as she is. View quotes by Richard Le Gallienne
Not a drum was heard, not a funeral note,
As his corse to the rampart we hurried. (The Burial of Sir John Moore at Corunna 1817) View quotes by Charles Wolfe
