• From camp to camp, through the foul womb of night,
  The hum of either army stilly sounds,
  That the fixed sentinels almost receive
  The secret whispers of each other's watch.
  Fire answers fire, and through their play flames
  Each battle sees the other's umbered face.
  Steed threatens steed, in high and boastful neighs
  Piercing the night's dull ear; and from the tents
  The armorers accomplishing the knights,
  With busy hammers closing rivets up,
  Give dreadful note of preparation.

  William Shakespeare

  War, Army, Night

  'Henry V' (1599) act 4, chorus, l. 1
