Harriet Monroe, ed. (1860–1936).  The New Poetry: An Anthology.  1917.
 
354. In Battle
 
By Wallace Stevens
 
 
DEATH’S nobility again
Beautified the simplest men.
Fallen Winkle felt the pride
Of Agamemnon
When he died.        5

Give him—
To that salty, sacrificial taste?
 
What could London’s        10
Sorrow bring—
To that short, triumphant sting?
