Those who love each other shall become invincible.

It seems lately that we've all gotten a little bit nastier about our political differences, unable even to see the humanity in those with whom we disagree.

So here's a post that has nothing to do with politics. Let the polls, the analysis, the accusations, the stump speeches, and the partisan rancor rest for five minutes.

Salvador Dali's "The Rose"


The Provence region of France

Over the carnage rose prophetic a voice,
Be not dishearten'd, affection shall solve the problems of freedom yet,
Those who love each other shall become invincible,
They shall yet make Columbia victorious.

from "Over the Carnage Rose Prophetic a Voice" by Walt Whitman
