" No easy hope or lies
Shall bring us to do it goal,
But iron sacrifice
Of body, will, and soul.
There is but one task for all -
One life for each to give.
Who stands it Freedom fall?
Who dies if England live?"

“The cherry trees bend over and are shedding, on the old road where all that passed are dead, their petals, strewing the grass as for a wedding, this early May morn when there is none to wed.” #riotgrams
