Anthem to Dead Youth What passing bells for you who die in herds? - Only the monstrous anger of the guns! - Only the stuttering rifles’ rattled words Can patter out your hasty orisons No chants for you‚ nor balms‚ nor wreaths‚ nor bells‚ Nor any voice of mourning‚ save the choirs‚ And long-drawn sighs of wailing shells; And bugles calling for you from sad shires.

Anthem‚ written by Ayn Rand in 1937‚ takes place in an ominous future. In a time when society becomes the great “We” and deprives men of their identities‚ knowledge‚ and freedom‚ one man stands alone. Equality 7-2521 had the audacity to go against the rules of the City Council. The story of Equality’s courage is similar to that of the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.
