This day is call'd the feast of Crispian. 

He that outlives this day, and comes safe home, 
Will stand a tip-toe when this day is named, 
And rouse him at the name of Crispian. 
He that shall live this day, and see old age, 
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours, 
And say, "Tomorrow is Saint Crispian." 
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars, 
And say, "These wounds I had on Crispian's day." 
Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot, 
But he'll remember with advantages 
What feats he did that day. Then shall our names, 
Familiar in his mouth as household words, 
Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter, 
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester, 
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb'red. 
This story shall the good man teach his son; 
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by, 
From this day to the ending of the world, 
But we in it shall be remembered, 
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers. 
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me 
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile, 
This day shall gentle his condition; 
And gentlemen in England now a-bed 
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here, 
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks 
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day

Remembrance. 

NF 140  Ironic begins with realism, and tends toward myth. more realistic...more sureal...more mythical. Picture metaphor. New Critics like to analyze the brush strokes. Move closer or go back farther to get out of the content.  We perceive the organizing design of it.  Story of Job.

1. Alice in Wonderland- archetypal need to set it in summer
   
2. Through the Looking Glass- Autumn.
