In Remembrance of 9/11













That day will never be forgotten. This poem by Aeschylus best conjures up my thoughts and feelings today:

'He who learns must suffer.
And even in our sleep,
pain, which cannot forget,
falls drop by drop
upon the heart
until, in our own despair,
against our will,
comes wisdom
through the awful grace of god.'
-- Aeschylus

Thanks for reading.
