2014.11.27 13:00 - Te Deum

Thanksgiving holiday in the US. Shinju stayed for just ten minutes, to see if others might arrive. :)

   

             Te Deum

     Not because of victories
     I sing,
     having none,
     but for the common sunshine,
     the breeze,
     the largess of the spring.

     Not for victory
     but for the day’s work done
     as well as I was able;
     not for a seat upon the dais
     but at the common table.

     -Charles Reznikoff
