Strange

Of strange position.”

“Open the envelope quickly,
O this is not our son’s writing, yet his name is sign’d,
O a strange hand writes for our dear son, O stricken mother’s soul!
All swims before her eyes, flashes with black, she catches the main
words only,
Sentences broken, gunshot wound in the breast, cavalry skirmish, taken to hospital,
At present low, but will soon be better.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

“All strange and terrible events are welcome,
But comforts we despise.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
