This is our lot if we live so long and labour unto the end—Then we outlive the impatient years and the much too patient friend:And because we know we have breath in our mouth and think we have thoughts in our head, We shall assume that we are alive, whereas we are really dead.We
The recent revelation that Washington, D.C. city councilman, Trayon White, is an avowed antisemite makes is a kind of poetic confirmation of Leftist projection.
