But over all that made Champagne so fair, He saw the grandeur of the field of strife, Exulting in the cause that placed him there, He felt a calm, mid all the carnage rife, And faced the battle with a spirit rare, “For death may be more wonderful than life.” THE NURSE in London Punch Reproduced by special permission of the Proprietors of “Punch” H ERE in the long white ward I stand, Pausing a little breathless space, Touching a restless fevered hand, Murmuring comforts commonplace— Long enough pause to feel the cold Fingers of fear about my heart; Just for a moment, uncontrolled, All the pent tears of pity start. — from Great Poems of the World War by William Dunseath Eaton

it's fun to explore! What's the longest hidden word you can find? Where is your name hiding?
