I greatly admire Winston Churchill's use of the English Language. I have a small journal in which I collect any item which moves me. I have Lincoln's Gettysburg address and his eloquent letter to Mrs. Bixby tucked away in there. Also, I have this:
"Good night then:
Sleep to gather strength for the morning. For the morning WILL come.
Brightly will it shine on the brave and the true, kindly on all who suffer for the cause, glorious upon the tombs of heroes.
Thus will shine the dawn."
Winston Churchill
From a radio broadcast to occupied Europe.
I am a student of World War II history, and I can only imagine what it would have been like to be lying in the darkness of the Nazi occupation and hear those words of comfort delivered in Winston Churchill's gravely, determined voice.
