Chase,

I am indeed from Dixie, and I guess you reside somewhere North of Dixie? So you like Shakespeare....I like some of his sonnets, do you like Oscar Wilde? I like some of his poems. Oh yeah, I'm sure Joshua Chamberlain was a fan also.

And there, till Christ call forth the dead,
In silence let him lie:
No need to waste the foolish tear,
Or heave the windy sigh:
The man had killed the thing he loved,
And so he had to die.

And all men kill the thing they love,
By all let this be heard,
Some do it with a bitter look,
Some with a flattering word,
The coward does it with a kiss,
The brave man with a sword!

Oscar Wilde
