3. Look at those hands, like so many birds' wings, and read this:
Edited on Fri Sep-12-08 11:24 PM by kestrel91316
"Hope" is the thing with feathers—
That perches in the soul—
And sings the tune without the words—
And never stops—at all—

And sweetest—in the Gale—is heard—
And sore must be the storm—
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm—

I've heard it in the chillest land—
And on the strangest Sea—
Yet, never, in Extremity,
It asked a crumb—of Me.

Emily Dickinson

4. Beautiful reference.
And I had forgotten that iconic photo-- it is one for the American journalistic ages.
