#1 They are the remnant of better times. I do not name them, but they know who they are.

You my friends, are 'they.' We do not mourn the passing of tyrants. We mourn the passing of good and honest men. With every one that passes, a small piece of us goes with them. Our eternal hope is that one day, we will see them again, and we will be made whole.

#2 "One poem that has stayed with me over the years and continues to resonate..."

I met a seer.
He held in his hands
The book of wisdom.
"Sir," I addressed him,
"Let me read."
"Child -- " he began.
"Sir," I said,
"Think not that I am a child,
For already I know much
Of that which you hold.
Aye, much."

He smiled.
Then he opened the book
And held it before me. --
Strange that I should have grown so suddenly blind.

S. Crane
