MORALITY OF WAR
When Statesmen gravely say 'We must be realistic',
The chances are they're weak and, therefore, pacifistic
But when they speak of Principles, look out: perhaps
Their generals are already poring over maps.
W.H.Auden
'Dew of Hermon', is taken from a line in Psalm 133. The writer of that ancient song enthused about how good it is when people live together in unity,and compares it poetically to the dew of Hermon descending upon the mountains of Zion. In that spirit it is hoped these scribblings will be more refreshing mountain dew, than obscurantist valley fog, where a weary Pilgrim might be refreshed and replenished for the journey ahead.
