"But, nevertheless, the generation that carried on the war has been set apart by its experience. Through our great good fortune, in our youth our hearts were touched with fire. It was given to us to learn at the outset that life is a profound and passionate thing." Oliver Wendell Holmes
"I'm sorry I must leave, but I must do what is asked of me by my God, my Country, and my Corps.. and so, the war blog begins, again." ~B

DH Lawrence
On vacation and catching up on my reading. Read a DH Lawrence piece that was recommended to me and this quote stood out:
"DH Lawrence: "The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer...it has never yet melted."
Too bad I found that after the 4th of July festivities.
