Glorious

11.11.11 and two minutes of silence on this glorious morning of brilliant November sunshine seems an inadequate gesture of recognition for the sacrifice of so many. 

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
- taken from "For the fallen" by Robert Laurence Binyon (1869-1943), first published in The Times newspaper on 21st September 1914.


"My subject is war and the pity of war.  The poetry is in the pity."
- Wilfred Owen 1893-1918
