Oh, where are you coming from, soldier, gaunt soldier,
With weapons beyond any reach of my mind,
With weapons so deadly the world must grow older
And die in its tracks, if it does not turn kind?

at_oasis: ...a long, mournful index of victims of political oppression: those average citizens killed “like rats in a drain,” those buried in nameless graves, those reported and doomed by their neighbors...
at_oasis: All night long like a moving stain,
(The trees are breaking, my son.)
The black ghost wanders his house of pain.
There is blood where his hand has lain.
It is wrong he should wear a chain.
(The sky is falling, my son.)

LisaEva03392155: More like =John Brown's Body,= by Stephen Vincent Benet. Or something by Langston Hughes. =Moby-Dick= is very time and place specific, and unlike so many of these works there are large chunks that are all but unreadable.

Trollbreath42: The Orville and Wilbur Wright poem by Rosemary and Stephen Vincent Benet. I learned the damned thing in 4th grade, and STILL know it to this day. No idea why my brain is holding onto that knowledge when I've lost so many useful things since.
BekahCA: 1929: Stephen Vincent Benet. “And she is the low lake, drowsy and gentle,
And good words spoken from the tongues of friends,
And calmness in the evening, and deep thoughts,
Falling like dreams from the stars' solemn mouths.
All these.”
at_oasis: We cannot afford the creeping paralysis that destroys the effective will of democracy - the paralysis carried by hate and rancor, between class and class, person and person, party and party, as plague is carried through the streets of a town.

SturgesVerses: Every lit mag to which I submitted this poem told me to take my rhymey little war saga and bugger off, so I'm sharing it solo. This one's for me. I tried to channel Stephen Vincent Benet and Syd Barrett. It's called "A Dream of Lightning, Poorly Dreamed."
danielbowmanjr: We read Stephen Vincent Benét's 1936 short story "The Devil and Daniel Webster" & watched the 1941 movie starring Edward Arnold and Walter Huston. We studied Su Tong's Raise the Red Lantern & the film by one of my heroes, Zhang Yimou. + more.

AndrewLazarus4: Blame Stephen Vincent Benét. All these legal eagles are dreaming of being the eponymous hero of his "The Devil and Daniel Webster", where Webster outmaneuvers Old Scratch by persuading a jury of evildoers with extraordinary rhetoric.
Liberal lawyers don't know it is fiction.
johnstonglenn: OTD in 1941 poet Stephen Vincent Benét wrote to Louis Finkelstein that the writer was a tough kind of plant that could grow in unfavourable soil, and could work in poverty and ignominy, and needed but a little room:
RBrookhiser: He did indeed. Zamoyski makes a big deal of his Corsican-ness, and that of his family.
NB Stephen Vincent Benet did an interesting what-of story. The Curfew Tolls the Knell of Parting Day, about Napoleon being born before his time (just pre French Rev).
