We have the evil spirits too
That shake our soul with battle-din.
But we have an eviller spirit than you,
We have a dumb spirit within:
The exceeding bitter agony
But not the exceeding bitter cry.

— Charles Sorley

And we run because we like it
Through the broad bright land.

We swing ungirded hips,
And lightened are our eyes.
The rain is on our lips,
We do not run for prize.
