Death Quote by Jane Bierhorst
““We weep, tears of blood, we weep, In despair, crying, we weep; the sun forever has stolen the light from his eyes. No more his face do we see, no more his voice do we hear, nor will his affectionate gaze watch over his people.””

![“Before this war is over,' [Walter] said - or something said through his lips - 'every man and woman and child in Canada will feel it - you, Mary, will feel it - feel it to your heart's core.
