    		I think it was 'Full Moon at Tierz Before the Storming of Huesca' by John Cornford but I can't find a copy of it to reference. I will keep looking to see if I am right.

    I believe the book and movie "We Were Soldiers Once" takes its title from a line in a poem that runs, "We were soldiers once, and young" but I can't remember the name of the poem or the poet. Anyone know?

    My brother, marking out stops on a tour for literature and history-minded cyclists, recently sent me an inquiry about a "heavenly" sculpture said to have inspired an important American novel. A little research indicated that he had the wrong sculpture in mind and also that the title of the novel had actually been inspired by a line in a 17th-century poem by someone who was definitely interested in the before-and-afterlife. What novel am I talking about, and what poem might this be?
