Now all roads lead to France and heavy is the tread
Of the living; but the dead returning lightly dance.

Through a Looking Glass: America in 1917


The past beats inside me like a second heart.

― John Banville

In this brief, but delightful video,  the America that entered the war in 1917 is captured. Surprisingly, it was produced by the U.S. Mint to sell their WWI Centennial coins.




Think only of the past as its remembrance gives you pleasure.

― Jane Austen
