• Who is the happy Warrior? Who is he
  That every man in arms should wish to be?
  It is the generous spirit, who, when brought
  Among the tasks of real life, hath wrought
  Upon the plan that pleased his boyish thought:
  Whose high endeavors are an inward light
  That makes the path before him always bright:
  Who, with a natural instinct to discern
  What knowledge can perform, is diligent to learn;
  And in himself posses his own desire

  William Wordsworth

  Happiness, Real, Warrior
