Who has rather lost the stomach for such things at present, but is trying
anyway.
The world changed yesterday, not for the better, and I am sick to my heart.
My thoughts go out to the many hundreds dead, and the many thousands who
knew them, loved them, and never thought they were seeing them for the last
time.
I'm not a religious person, for good or ill, but the words that keep running
through my head are those of the old hymn:
'.....my richest gains I count but loss     and pour contempt on all my
pride'.
