In Memoriam
such a noble sacrifice the forest made in its battle with the saw it deserves no less than a full plantation of stumps
erasers white with chalk erected in loving forgetfulness of the blackboard
a stone tossed into still water always lands in the center of a target of spreading years
how well we know them then these unknown dead
Graves of the Unknown Dead, National Cemetery, Chattanooga, TN William Henry Jackson, ca. 1900
