A description of the experience
Alexander's Feast – John Dryden
War, he sung, is toil and trouble,
Honour but an empty bubble,
Never ending, still beginning;
Fighting still and still destroying;
If the world be worth thy winning,
Think, O think, it worth enjoying;
Lovely Thais sits beside thee
Take the good the gods provide thee!
