“Weep not for the dead with a fruitless recalling,
Their soul on the wings of the morning hath fled;
Mourn rather for those whom yet life is enthralling,
Ah! weep for the living—weep not for the dead.”

— so brave and strong, so young —
the horses of Achilles began to weep”

their immortal nature was upset deeply
by this work of death they had to look at.
