The life that I have
Is all that I have
And the life that I have
Is yours.

The love that I have
Of the life that I have
Is yours and yours and yours.

A sleep I shall have
A rest I shall have
Yet death will be but a pause.

For the peace of my years
In the long grass
Will be yours and yours and yours.

(Poem by Leo Marks to Violette Szabo as her cipher key before she was parachuted into occupied France)

I duff my cap in silent remembrance of those heroes who unarmed and out of uniforms ventured all, risking torture and death to fight against total evil.

(...and now we learn that even in death they were betrayed by their masters. Words fail me.)

For those who are interested in war time SOE the book Between Silk and Cyanide by Leo Marks is a must read.

[M. Espinola]
