“We think of religion as the symbolic expression of our highest moral ideals; we think of magic as a crude aggregate of superstitions.

“... the Wall became a magnet for citizens of every generation, class, race, and relationship to the war perhaps because it is the only great public monument that allows the anesthetized holes in the heart to fill with a truly national grief.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“Not today, O Lord,
O not today, think not upon the fault
My father made in compassing the crown.”
