Mr. President, since I know that you and I share a connection, as I said to Ireland, I hope you forgive me for ending by quoting an Irish poet, Seamus Haney. And he wrote in the Cura Troi, he said, history says, don’t hope on this side of the grave. But then, once in a lifetime, that long forward tidal wave of justice rises up, and hope and history rhyme. I truly believe that we’re at one of those moments if we get lucky and work hard. Once in a lifetime, that long forward tidal wave of justice rises up.
I truly believe that we’re at one of those moments if we get lucky and work hard. But then, once in a lifetime, that long forward tidal wave of justice rises up, and hope and history rhyme. I truly believe that we’re at one of those moments if we get lucky and work hard. But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes, and takes the life of one of them, that man will be taken away because of his sin. But I will hold the watchman accountable for his blood.
