Where no tyranny is tolerable

The Ghosts

Over the carnage,
over the twisted, fiery wreckage,
and the ceaseless toil of rescue workers,
the ghosts of Churchill and Longfellow
to the people of Great Britain speak:
Sail on, o ship of state.
Sail on, o Union strong and great.
Humanity, with all its tears,
with all its hopes for future years,
is hanging, breathless, on thy fate.

Jaime, you touch deeply with such words.

A moving and timely write which I am tucking into my library.
