Anybody watch the television show "Numbers" ?
There was a quote by the father on the show tonight at the end of the show. It was the episode where it is found out that Colby is a double agent for the chinese and Janus list. It might have been the season ender, i'm not sure. It sounded like an excerpt from a poem or short story and it ended with something like "and then, far away, the guns." It sounded like a death bed monologue or soliloquy. Can anybody tell me where its from or who its by?
The lines quoted at the end of the episode are a slightly abbreviated version of the last two stanzas of Siegfried Sassoon's "The Death-Bed." The writers omitted the last three lines of the first stanza below.
Light many lamps and gather round his bed.
Lend him your eyes, warm blood, and will to live.
Speak to him; rouse him; you may save him yet.
He’s young; he hated War; how should he die
When cruel old campaigners win safe through?
But death replied: ‘I choose him.’ So he went,
And there was silence in the summer night;
Silence and safety; and the veils of sleep.
Then, far away, the thudding of the guns.
