A proper and provocative tribute to an almost forgotten character. For once, however, I found the poet's rhythm stumbled a little in my mind's voice. But the lines "as though the steel had sheltered in his heart" and "the steel had lost its shine" I found particularly resonant.

A somewhat dispassionate poem. Some of the lines are a little awkward--the "But free men etc" was unusually rough.

The imagery was fine, though, and the general structure sound. It needs just a little tweaking to reach its full potential.
