Background
A description of the experience
Walt Whitman – Leaves of Grass
This is the trill of a thousand clear cornets and scream of the octave flute and strike of triangles
I play not a march for victors only … I play great marches for conquered and slain persons
Have you heard that it was good to gain the day?
I also say it is good to fail …. battles are lost in the same spirit in which they are won
