To all, to each, a fair good-night,
And pleasing dreams, and slumbers light!
Sir Walter Scott
All the Secrets of the Universe and Some Really Important Stuff Too!
To all, to each, a fair good-night,
And pleasing dreams, and slumbers light!
Sir Walter Scott
Revenge—the sweetest morsel to the mouth that ever was cooked in hell!
Sir Walter Scott
(Editor’s note: two opposite takes on war by Scott)
Sound, sound the clarion, fill the fife!
To all the sensual world proclaim,
One crowded hour of glorious life
Is worth an age without a name.

War’s a fearsome thing. They’ll be cunning that catches me at this wark again.
