From the heart of a friend

by Unknown

A sudden zeal for other skies displays?

Or he who, like a valiant knight of yore,

When Summer yields to Winter’s icy breath

Or Mirth’s gay laughter to the tears of Woe,

Champions our cause, ne’er fearful of the foe,

True to the legend which his pennon bore,

SEMPER FIDELIS till the call of Death?

—Norman.

The essence of friendship is entireness, a total magnanimity and trust.
