Poem I want to remmember.
Stephen Spender's poem.
I think continually of those who were truly great.
The names of those who in their lives fought for life,
Who were at their hearts the fire's center.
Born of the sun they traveled a short while toward the sun,
And left the vivid air signed with their honour.
Page 2:
If people bring so much courage to this world the world has to kill them to break then, so of course it kills them, The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places.
But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good, and the very gentle, and the very brave impartially.
- Hemingway.
