Robert Hicks Quotes

Had The Battle Of Franklin Ever Really Ended? Carrie Walked Her Cemetery, And Around Her The Wounds Closed Up And Scarred Over, But Only In That Way That An Oak Struck By Lightning Heals Itself By Twisting And Bending Around The Wound: It Is Still Recognizably A Tree, It Still Lives As A Tree, It Still Puts Out Its Leaves And Acorns, But Its Center, Hidden Deep Within The Curtain Of Green, Remains Empty And Splintered Where It Hasn't Been Grotesquely Scarred Over. We Are Happy The Tree Hasn't Died, And From The Proper Angle We Can Look On It And Suppose That It Is The Same Tree As It Ever Was, But It Is Not And Never Will Be.
