Short days ago<br />We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,<br />Loved and were loved, and now we lie<br />In Flanders fields.<br /><br />Take up our quarrel with the foe:<br />To you from failing hands we throw<br />The torch; be yours to hold it high.<br />If ye break faith with us who die<br />We shall not sleep, though poppies grow<br />In Flanders fields.<br /><br />~John McCraeGracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02779872914493612101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535543883262225735.post-8012565122336616622014-11-11T10:53:30.412-05:002014-11-11T10:53:30.412-05:00I saw photos of that installation a few months ago...I saw photos of that installation a few months ago - amazing and evocative.Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02779872914493612101noreply@blogger.com
