I keep such music in my brain
No din this side of death can quell;
Glory exulting over pain,
And beauty, garlanded in hell.

Additional quotes by Siegfried Sassoon

In your gaze / show me the vanquished vigil of my days

Soldiers are dreamers; when the guns begin
They think of firelit homes, clean beds, and wives.

Soldiers are citizens of death's grey land,
Drawing no dividend from time's to-morrows.
In the great hour of destiny they stand, Each with his feuds, and jealousies, and sorrows.

I keep such music in my brain No din this side of death can quell; Glory exulting over pain, And beauty, garlanded in hell. - Siegfried Sassoon
