Lest We Forget
« on: November 11, 2016, 10:54:39 am »
lit candle imageI was going to do this last night, but was distracted by some sad news. That did mean, though, that I crossed paths with something appropriate to both this thread and that news (see YouTube link below).

This can, perhaps, be considered a mini remembrance service/ritual, forum-style. Feel free to lay poppies (individual or wreaths) in the thread.

In Flanders Fields (John McRae)

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
       Between the crosses, row on row,
    That mark our place; and in the sky
    The larks, still bravely singing, fly
 Scarce heard amid the guns below.

 We are the Dead. Short days ago
 We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
    Loved and were loved, and now we lie
          In Flanders fields.

 Take up our quarrel with the foe:
 To you from failing hands we throw
    The torch; be yours to hold it high.
    If ye break faith with us who die
 We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
          In Flanders fields.

And it is as read by Leonard Cohen.


(h/t to HarpingHawke, who posted this field-of-poppies pic in 2014's Remembrance Day thread)

Act of Remembrance (excerpt from Laurence Binyon's 'For the Fallen')

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.

We will remember them.
I'm the AntiFa genderqueer commie eclectic wiccan Mod your alt-right bros warned you about.
I do so have a life; I just live part of it online!
