And a hearty THANK YOU for not using word verification on your comments! Blogger is becoming a great pain to use because of the Captcha word verification, which I can hardly read, and am forced to try and try again until I get it right. It's very discouraging. So, again, thank you,thank you, thank you! :)
ReplyDeleteEntire lifetimes and the history of a people, not just an individual's, are captured in the pathos of this poem and photo.
