A REMINDER FOR TODAY.....

                               ****
It has taken us long, too long to come to terms
with our inward selves.We have had to face a
moral crisis for which we were scantily equipped.
But at last we have reached our conclusions and
are ready to act. We have come through.

--Carson McCullers, 1941

~~ TIME ~~

                          ****
Time will say nothing but I told you so.
Time only knows the price we have to pay;
If I could tell you I would let you know.

by W. H. Auden
