EUGENE FITCH WARE ("IRONQUILL")
American soldier, lawyer, statesman, poet and litterateur
(1841 - 1911)

Life is a game of whist. From unseen sources
  The cards are shuffled, and the hands are dealt.
    Blind are the efforts to control the forces
      That, though unseen, are no less strongly felt.
        I do not like the way the cards are shuffled,
          But still I like the game and want to play;
            And through the long, long night, will I, unruffled,
              Play what I get, until the break of day.
      - Whist [Life]
