Jul4

small arms.

Posted on July 4, 2021 by beth

“seasons pursuing each other,

the indescribable crowd is gathered,

it is the fourth of the seventh-month,

what salutes of cannon and other small arms!”

-walt whitman

happy 4th!

Great quote choice Beth. Walt Whitman was definitely very patriotic, and he greatly admired Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States.

Happy 4th, Beth! Fingers crossed as things have been relatively quiet this year compared to last year’s war zone.
