Kim, David's granddaughter: The other day I found this. It was amongst my granddad's papers, and I just thought it was, like, fitting for him. It's a poem by William Morris, and I'd just like to read it out: "Join in the battle, wherein no man can fail. For whoso fadeth and dieth, yet his deeds shall still prevail." See more » |
