Honour, freedom, truth…

People who dedicate themselves to the above principles.

A lot is demanded of said individuals:

A fierce loyalty that shows itself to like minded individuals,

A razor’s edge of singlemindedness that renews all sense of purpose,

A real sense of integrity that binds them all.

Perhaps, we all embody just an infinitesimal portion of such potent virtue.

But this keeps alive the boyish charms,

And the girlish glee of whom we honour.

This is a tribute, “The Three Musketeers” by Alexander Dumas.
