Oh Hell of ships and cities,
Hell of men like me,
Fatal second Helen,
Why must I follow thee?

More quotes by Patrick Shaw-Stewart

I saw a man this morning
Who did not wish to die;
I ask and cannot answer
If otherwise wish I.

Stand in the trench, Achilles,
Flame-capped, and shout for me.

Was it so hard, Achilles,
So very hard to die?
Thou knowest and I know not —
So much the happier I.
