“Fondly do we hope – fervently do we pray – that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away.” The highlighting on this image is a trick of the light or of the stone. The passage about the mighty scourge of war stood out from the rest of the section naturally the morning we were there, just before Memorial Day 2008.

Why is that? Simplicity.
