  1. A little patch of land.
    Bread on the table.
    A dear friend you can talk to.
    A small house you can call Home.
    Rabbits…

    Such a modest dream. And yet so impossibly out of reach.

  6. The Violent End of the U.S.S. Macon, Tom Lovell, 193?

    What do we do now? Nothing left but to watch it sink. Get rescued or make it to land.

    Obviously it's a tragedy but I think he caught a cool moment or imagined a cool moment where they made it to life rafts, they're alive and probably relieved to have that, at least. Alive and safe. This is before everyone is looking at each other wondering what comes next.

    I read that all but two were rescued.

  9. A quotation from Mark Twain

       “You heard these words: ‘Grant us the victory, O Lord our God!’ That is sufficient. The whole of the uttered prayer is compact into those pregnant words. Elaborations were not necessary. When you have prayed for victory you have prayed for many unmentioned results which follow victory — must follow it, cannot help but follow it. Upon the listening spirit of God fell also the unspoken part of the prayer. He commandeth me to put it into words. Listen!
       “O Lord our Father, our young patriots, idols of our hearts, go forth to battle — be Thou near them! With them — in spirit — we also go forth from the sweet peace of our beloved firesides to smite the foe. O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with their little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it — for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.
       (After a pause.) “Ye have prayed it; if ye still desire it, speak! The messenger of the Most High waits!”

    Mark Twain (1835-1910) American writer [pseud. of Samuel Clemens]
    Story (1905), “The War Prayer”
