We could spare some of our full-blooded, literary men if there is a
shortage in America.

MONUMENTS OF THE WAR.

Let those who fear lest Memory should mislay
Our triumphs gathered all across the map;
Lest other topics--like the weather, say,
Or jazzing--should supplant the recent scrap;
Or lest a future race whose careless lot
Lies in a League of Nations, lapped amid
Millennial balm, be unaware of what
(Largely for their sakes) we endured and did;--

Let such invite our architects to plan
Great monumental works in steel and stone,
Certain to catch the eye of any man
And make our victories generally known;
Let a new bridge at Charing Cross be built,
In Regent Street a deathless quadrant set,
And on them be inscribed in dazzling gilt:--
"IN CASE BY INADVERTENCE WE FORGET."

Or, eloquent in ruin unrestored,
Leave the Cloth Hall to be the pilgrim's quest,
Baring her ravaged beauty to record
The Culture of the Bosch when at his best;
