Commemorative Grove, dusk, 9/11/2008
CALM soul of all
things! make it mine
To feel, amid the city’s jar,
That there abides a peace of thine,
Man did not make, and cannot mar!
The will to neither strive nor cry,
The power to feel with others give!
Calm, calm me more! nor let me die
Before I have begun to live.
—Matthew Arnold, Lines Written in Kensington Gardens
