From a letter to Tevis Clyde Smith, January 30, 1925; titled with the first line in COLLECTED POETRY

1893984I am the Spirit of War!...Robert E. Howard


I am the Spirit of War!

My hands are red with gore.

They know my heel

Where the clash of steel

Matches the cannon's roar!

My hands are gory red

Ranks crumple beneath my stride

O'er vanquished heaps I tread,

On the wings of the wind I ride.
