Far enough that you had a small town feel and close enough that you could be in midtown in less than an hour.Just a conservative girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11982406297072353275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5060865309044072246.post-17195884867275836322010-09-11T15:38:32.171-04:002010-09-11T15:38:32.171-04:00Your quote from Prisoner of Azkaban reminded me of...Your quote from Prisoner of Azkaban reminded me of the quotes J K Rowling chose for the opening of Deathly Hallows. Aeschylus has significance for the ongoing war but the William Penn quote brings some solace and reminds us why we remember those we lost that day:<br /><br /><i>"Death is but crossing the world, as friends do the seas; they live in one another still. For they must needs be present, that love and live in that which is omnipresent. In this divine glass, they see face to face; and their converse is free, as well as pure. This is the comfort of friends, that though they may be said to die, yet their friendship and society are, in the best sense, ever present, because immortal."<br /><b>(William Penn, More Fruits of Solitude)</b></i>MarySuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12314892655929265823noreply@blogger.com
