Breathes there the man with soul so dead
Who never to himself hath said,
This is my own, my native land!
Whose heart hath neer within him burned,
As home his footsteps he hath turned
From wandering on a foreign strand!
If such there breathe, go, mark him well;
For him no minstrel raptures swell;
High though his titles, proud his name,
Boundless his wealth as wish can claim
Despite those titles, power, and pelf,
The wretch, concentred all in self,
Living, shall forfeit fair renown,
And, doubly dying, shall go down
To the vile dust from whence he sprung,
Unwept, unhonored , and unsung.
You were right. Sir Walter Scott.

Just reading through those beautiful words makes me realize anew that there are a whole boatload of leftists (especially Ted Kennedy) whose souls are dead.
