Take thou thy arms and come with me,
For we must quit ourselves like men, and strive
To aid our cause, although we be but two.
Great is the strength of feeble arms combined,
And we can combat even with the brave.

— Homer

the pulsing rush of Longing, the lover's whisper,
irresistible—magic to make the sanest man go mad.

Who for his country falls.
