Whatever may have been my political opinions before, I have but one sentiment now. That is, we have a Government, and laws and a flag, and they must all be sustained. There are but two parties now, traitors and patriots and I want hereafter to be ranked with the latter, and I trust, the stronger party.

—U.S. Grant, letter to his father and brother, Apr 29, 1861

Oh Grant, how can I forget your melancholy eyes, pure as clear water, and those slightly frowning brows, that thoughtful look, and your wine-stained cuffs covered in dust military uniform

People praise you as a great hero, but you only regard yourself as an ordinary person, not from aristocratic background, but an uncompromising gentleman, always maintaining integrity, humility, courtesy, a soldier with a soft heart but a strong character , a battle-hardened but sympathetic general who always remembers the feelings of others in his words and deeds

People say you are not perfect, but you have never pursued fame, everything just happened because the wheel of history happened to put the responsibility on your shoulders #ulyssessgrant

General Grant, your passing takes my heart with you

I greet your palace with a calm mind

But with the solemn music

Your area emerges in front of my eyes

My rocky, indifferent heart

shattered in an instant

Standing in front of your coffin, I can't hold anything

Your few words, your voice, your appearance, and you are completely away from me

The wood with your name engraved on it covers your breath

The stone-carved white eagle in front of the temple seems to be screaming

I can't help but ask

What lurks here is nothing but your corpse

Where is the real you?

"Battle of Pertersburg • Virginia Nostalgia"

Three feet long reeds and one acre lake, old trees grow and wither in the fog

The flags and flags do not see the motherland, the bones disappear in the fallen leaves

The resentment of the hero goes in vain, the guns cease to fire

In the past, where the generals were stationed on the horse, the grave was silent and the twilight was thick

《Pertersburg战役•弗吉尼亚怀古》

Len

三尺长苇一亩湖，雾中老树自荣枯

旌旗不见故国在，白骨消弭落叶中

英雄遗恨枉然去，炮息枪止鸣未休

昔时将军驻马处，断坟无语暮色浓
