In These Dissenting Times To acknowledge our ancestors means we are aware that we did not make ourselves, that the line stretches all the way back, perhaps, to God; or to Gods. We remember them because it is an easy thing to forget: that we are not the first to suffer, rebel, fight, love and die. The grace with which we embrace life, in spite of the pain, the sorrows, is always a measure of what has gone before. IN THESE DISSENTING TIMES I shall write of the old men I knew And the young men I loved And of the gold toothed women Mighty of arm Who dragged us all To church.
