Today's quote

"The plane slips evenly forward through the dark night. / Just a short flip and we are there. / Yesterday, when we were young, the trip was longer and devious / And our cause lay footsore over the mountains and through the valleys. / Like a gathering storm we came as droplets, mountain streams then raging torrents / And the fury was heard all over the Earth and stirred its sympathy. / Fascism was striding across Europe and the brave Spanish people were breaking the shackles of feudalism. / Guernica was calling for revenge and humanity responded and sent its sons."

From the poem “A Tribute” by Hugh Sloan (Scottish volunteer)
