A THOUGHT FOR THE DAYMonday, May 28, 2001
"But grief is not the end of all. I seem to hear the funeral march become a paean. I see beyond the forest the moving banners of a hidden column. Our dead brothers still live for us and bid us think of life, not death--of life to which in their youth they lent the passion and joy of the spring. As I listen, the great chorus of life and joy begins again, and amid the awful orchestra of seen and unseen powers and destinies of good and evil, our trumpets sound once more a note of daring, hope, and will." ----- Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., 1841-1935 Memorial Day Address, 30 May 1884, Keene, NH |
