But perhaps the pensive fields of loss Will draw a new man from the defeated . Once the sadness subsides And the anger fades And the pain dulls , Perhaps something new will be found , A seed planted in the deepest depths of defeat . Forsooth , a vict ’ ry laid by the greatest of losses .
~ John E .
