I will tell you what I will do and what I will not do. I will not serve that in which I no longer believe, whether it call itself my home, my fatherland, or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defence the only arms I allow myself to use - silence, exile, and cunning.

Thanks so much for this post, dawn.
That is just beautiful. For our country, indeed. The nation and its people look suddenly brighter and more proud standing beneath that furling glory.
Thank you Am and Sandy!
