“The flowers left thick at nightfall in the wood
This Eastertide call into mind the men
Now far from home,”
—Edward Thomas (1878–1917)
“Flower Belle! What a euphonious appellation! Easy on the ears and a banquet for the eyes!”

“Most people aren’t appreciated enough, and the bravest things we do in our lives are usually known only to ourselves. No one throws ticker tape on the man who chose to be faithful to his wife, on the lawyer who didn’t take the drug money, or the daughter who held her tongue again and again. All this anonymous heroism.”
—Peggy Noonan (b. 1950)
