Thoughts For The Times
The True Patriot. if I should die, think only this of me: That there’s some corner of a foreign land That is for ever England And think, this heart, all evil shed away, A pulse in the eternal mind, no less Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given. —Rupert Brooke. The Memories of a Nation. A nation without memories: It is, one might say, a contradiction in terms, for the greatness of a nation is built on nothing but the greatness of its memories, and without those memories men lose one of their mightiest incentives to nobility of thought and action.
