A poet and writer of fiction and dramatic adaptations, Stephen Vincent Benét (1898-1943) retold materials from American history, legend, and folklore with charm, humor, fervor, and a sense of theatricality.

Life is not lost by dying; life is lost minute by minute, day by dragging day, in all the thousand small uncaring ways.
Stephen Vincent Benet

We thought, because we had power, we had wisdom.
Stephen Vincent Benet

The first verse, incidentally, is very reminiscent of Noyes' 'The
Highwayman'. The latter was published in 1907; 'Winged Man' was published in 'Young Adventure' [1918] so it's reasonable to assume Benet was influenced
by Noyes. He was a great Modern American author.
