"In Manassas."
"After a minute or two, you walk on in the direction
in which your ancestors were said to live.
You're not much surprised by the general's disappearance
as you're getting used to such things happening.
But while you're passing by the place
where the general had been, he suddenly appears again.
By the by, what became of your family?
I'd nearly forgotten to ask.
You quietly say, they survived, but they
didn't stay here after the war.
I thought not, says the general, and vanishes slowly.
Beginning with the broad brim of his hat,
the grin remains for some time after the rest of him
has gone."
Thank you.
