Words that Push Us Forward

       A bright fellow draftee in the Korean conflict introduced me to four lines of poetry that have stuck with me.  I now learn the poet was a Vermonter of whom Robert Frost said the following:  "To a saint and a reformer like Sarah Cleghorn the great importance is not to get hold of both ends, but of the right end.  She has to be partisan."

                      The golf links lie so near the mill
                      That almost every day
                      The laboring children can look out
                      And see the men at play.
                                 Sarah Norcliffe Cleghorn, (1876-1959)
