One day we will stand
Having run, and striven and fought
We've seen all that we planned
Quickly come to nought
But then, ah yes, we'll know
It wasn't doomed at all
There are reasons this and that were so
We didn't always fall
But isn't the wait all too much, sometimes?
Well taking the long view I read 'American Emmpire' well reread in fact and then read this and thaught yes I like this good work and esp like the last line.
Like this... an untrendy Victorian theme given wry modern treatment. And oh yeah, it does ring true.
