But fame is theirs – and future days
On pillard brass shall tell their praise;
Shall tell – when cold neglect is dead –
These for their country fought and bled. – Philip Freneau

True nostalgia is an ephemeral composition of disjointed memories… but American-style nostalgia is about as ephemeral as copyrighted d?j? vu. – Florence King
