Miles Watson Quotes
In The Years That I Could Not See Him, I Came To Know My Father Through The Medium Of Photography. My Perceptions Of Him Were Forged On Black-and-white Squares That Stole An Instant Out Of History And Immortalized It Between The Pages Of A Family Album. When I Summoned Up The Image Of The Man, It Came To Me Frozen, Black-bordered, Flat. He Stood Pale Above The Creases Of His Uniform, Framed In The Foamy Wake Of Some Ship, Drops Of Sunlight Caught In The Buttons On His Jacket. He Winked At Me From The Liberty Ports Of Countless Exotic Places. In An Atrocious Hand He Scrawled Stilted, Affectionate Words To The Stranger That Bore His Name And His Features, Telling Of Adventures Far Away, Misbehavings Under Suns Hotter Than That Which Shone Over The Greater German Reich.
