Let the national flag float over every schoolhouse in the country and the exercises be such as shall impress upon our youth the patriotic duties of American citizenship.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
“The palest ink is better than the best memory.”
—Chinese proverb.

flowering above sister grass-daisies’ pink tiny
bloomlets angelic as lightbulbs—”
