Hope and History Rhyme





On Inauguration night, Joe Biden, reflecting on the millions he saw gathered that afternoon watching Barack Obama becoming the 44th U.S. President, quoted from the poem
The Cure at Troy by Nobel Prize winner Irishman, Seamus Heaney:
History says, Don't hope
on this side of the grave.
But then, once in a lifetime
the longed for tidal wave
of justice can rise up,
and hope and history rhyme.
