Connie Willis Quotes
But If She'd Come Then, She Would Never Have Properly Appreciated It. She'd Have Seen The Happy Crowds And The Union Jacks And The Bonfires, But She'd Have No Idea Of What It Meant To See The Lights On After Years Of Navigating In The Dark, What It Meant To Look Up At An Approaching Plane Without Fear, To Hear Church Bells After Years Of Air-raid Sirens. She'd Have Had No Idea Of The Years Of Rationing And Shabby Clothes And Fear Which Lay Behind The Smiles And The Cheering, No Idea Of What It Had Cost To Bring This Day To Pass
the Lives Of All Those Soldiers And Sailors And Airmen And Civilians.
