““Moments like these absolve the needs dividing men. Whatever caught and brought and kept them here Under Troy's Wall for ten burnt years Is lost: and for a while they join a terrible equality, Are virtuous, self-sacrificing, free; And so insidious is this liberty That those surviving it will bear An even greater servitude to its root: Believing they were whole, while they were brave; That they were rich, because their loot was great, That war was meaningful, because they lost their friends.””
