Adieu -- Fair Princess. The saddest words ....
... of tongue or pen -- That which might have been.

1. Eternity enables the endeavoring Again
    Each life converges to some centre
    Expressed or still;
    Exists in every human nature
    A goal,

    Admitted scarcely to itself, it may be,
    Too fair
    For credibility's temerity
    To dare.

    Adored with caution, as a brittle heaven,
    To reach
    Were hopeless as the rainbow's raiment
    To touch,

    Yet persevered toward, surer for the distance;
    How high
    Unto the saints' slow diligence
    The sky!

    Ungained, it may be, by a life's low venture,
    But then,
    Eternity enables the endeavoring
    Again
    ... Emily Dickinson



Hillary's strengths manifested these past months will encourage others to greatness.

2. Do not go gentle into that political night


Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

(with thanks -- and apologies -- to Dylan Thomas)
