Sorry everyone, in my hurry to tie up Eternity into the Soul I forgot to announce Friday's Question of the Day. It is:
Find a line in one of Melville's war poems that resonates with your own feelings about the war in Iraq.
[The question is not as pre-programmed as it might seem.]

Based on my reading of "When lilacs last in the door-yard bloom'd" I am not so sure that Whitman does suggest we recover from the wounds of the war. It seems to me that he is almost saying the opposite. The way he describes our actions of leaving flowers at grave sites and hanging pictures to remember lost loved ones sounds like we are tormenting ourselves with these memories. I am not trying to say that I am against these practices, only that the feel I get from this piece is that it is suggesting torment. The two lines that really confirm this for me are 182-183, he says that the dead are at rest and have not suffered but the survivors remained and suffered.
Another brief rant that I am curious if anyone else noticed -- did this poem remind you of "Out of the Cradle Endlessly Rocking"? For me it was the repetition of death and the "gray-brown bird" that really stands out.

A website can communicate the levsl of professionalism of an attorney, the size of the practice, and generally adds color to the personalitty of
the person or firm you wipl possibly bbe working with day in and
dayy out to resolve your legal issue. For example,
you could take a simple picture of a leaf lying
on the ground and deep etch the leaf fropm its background leaving you free too impose
that image on a diffrent photo or simply a different background.
That will leave you with 77 coins to tthe good per field.
