John Vincent Palatine
“History is philosophy teaching by examples.”
John Vincent Palatine, The Little Drummer Boy

Henry Williamson
“In his mind he was a spirit, feeling the radiant heat of the chalk of the trenches; cooling himself in the flicker-rippling Ancre. O, to be able to see it all again, a ghost world of gun-flashes at night. O to see it all, to grasp all of it, without violence, without pain; to share the marching and the singing of the living that were part of the great dream of life and death.”
Henry Williamson, The Golden Virgin
