Cotillion Ball -- Saluting our veterans

Today the women of The Cotillion dedicate the dance to our veterans. Hosting today is Stacy of Not a Desperate Housewife. She's does a grand job of presenting the consistently fine and moving writing from the Women who can think and dance at the same time.

As I did last year, let me end this post with a poem from WWI (an almost forgotten war nowdays)

If I should die, think only this of me:
That there's some corner of foreign field
That is forever England. There shall be
In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam,
A body of England's, breathing English air,
Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.

And think, this heart, all evil shed away,
A pulse in the Eternal mind, no less
Gives somehwere back the thoughts by England given,
Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;
And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness,
In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.

Rupert Brooke 1915
