Explore "Peace" by Ambrose Bierce on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
When lion and lamb have together lain down / Spectators cry out, all in chorus; / "The lamb doesn't shrink nor the lion frown -- / A miracle's working before us!"
But 't is patent why Hot-head his wrath holds in, / And Faint-heart her terror and loathing; / For the one's but an ass in a lion's skin, / The other a wolf in sheep's clothing.
