I had intended to start this yesterday...

For the next three days I will (read:plan to) post relevant to the time.




In Flanders Fields

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
~~John McCrae (1872-1918)

My reasoning is that Sunday was Remembrance Day in the UK and tomorrow is Veterans' Day here so it is my attempt at a link of sorts.

Yes, Castle hasn't been much to write about these last 2 weeks. I guess they thought everyone would need to rest after the squeefest that was "Vampire's Weekend" :)
