From Dirge Without Music
Down, down, down into the darkness of the grave
Gently they go, the beautiful, the tender, the kind;
Quietly they go, the intelligent, the witty, the brave.
I know. But I do not approve. And I am not resigned.
From Edna St. Vincent Millay
Love for children and parents and special friends
With unspoken affection. EEP
