Negative Space: Battle Hymn of the Republic

I have read a fiery gospel: “Be swift my soul to answer him, be jubilant my feet.” Written a hundred and fifty-nine years ago today, this rousing abolitionist song remains a fiery call for freedom from tyranny.

And the young people ask, what are they marching for…
and I ask myself the same question.

And the band plays Waltzing Mathilda;
and the old men still answer the call
and year after year, the numbers get fewer…
someday no one will march there at all. — Eric Bogle (Waltzing Mathilda)
