Happy Remembrance Day

They shall grow not old, as we who are left grow old
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning
We will remember them

My all-time favourite poem

And one of my all-time favourite books

I was going to write more about today, and memories of today, and try to parse out why I am so fascinated by WWI, but I started a new job last week and even though it's part-time, it's still exhausting (and the last two days have been particularly emotionally draining) and I just need to collapse. I'll put it on my list for 'posts to write soon' but I can't promise that I'll a) remember and b) actually do it. I'll try, though.
