Quotes
"And worshipful foes, awarded medals carved upon flesh,
In scars of shrapnel and sourceless fire,
This flock,
Her flock,
Unburied,
Within great drifting tombs of silent enemy iron.
A queenly shadow cast,
Against the dappled theatre of eternal fusion,
Across the tide of our eternal ocean,
And here,
Enshrined in this royal steel,
We carve her invocation. "
