The poet's, the writer's, duty is to write about these things. It is his privilege to help man endure by lifting his heart, by reminding him of the courage and honor and hope and pride and compassion and pity and sacrifice which have been the glory of the past. The poet’s voice need not merely be the record of man; it can be one of the props, the pillars, to help him endure and prevail. See Poets & Writers
