First lines
Where stern grey busts of gods and heroes old Frown down upon the corridors' chill stone, On which the sunbeam's amber pale is thrown From leaf-fringed windows, one of quiet mould Gazed long at those white chronicles which told Of honours that the stately School had known. He read the names: and wondered if his own Would ever grace the walls in letters bold.
He knew not that he for the School would gain A greater honour with a greater price -- That, no long years of work, but bitter pain And his rich life, he was to sacrifice -- Not in a University's grey peace, But on the hilly sun-baked Chersonese.
