I forgot, but this is important. I've had this in my head all day.
"You can tremble, you can fear it,
but keep your fighting spirit alive, boys.
When the world is saying not to, march on,
by [George] you've got to march on, boys.
Never hold back your step for a moment.
Never doubt that your courage will grow.
Hold your head even higher as into the fire we go!"
(Which for your information, Misha, is a song from the American Broadway musical, "The Scarlet Pimpernel," although the book was British. I haven't thought of it for months, and now it's in my head.)
I have this tremendous childhood vision of heroism and valour, and it's ruined me completely. To think Mom believes it's the war movies we've watched for years. No, it goes further back: Eowyn always was my favorite, beside Faramir. And I've wanted to be Faramir for years because he's so noble, and so faithful and wise a captain. I'm doomed.
