07/11/2005 Author's Note:
Maybe too pretty for some people but I don\'t know how else to say what I wanted to say! I wonder if you will recognise the references?
Following Jersey\'s comment I have posted an explanation of sorts in my journal.

| Posted by Maureen Glaude on 07/12/05 at 12:16 AM yes, to me I was taken right away to the poppy of Flanders and that poem. I believe it's the spirits of those who endured the Blitz and fought for England (and the Allies)rallying to support those attacked Thursday, and their families, and to remind London and England to be strong, and go on for the sake of righteousness? I love the concrete, the tactile, of the opening especially, but carried on throughout. A tough topic treated with reverence and delicacy but resilience. |
