FTF: 11.19.2010






Alright, since this free text friday didn't really have a SPECIFIC quote, I went off of what was written:

"11/11/11... World War I ends on this day, in 1918. "At the eleventh hour, on the eleventh day, of the eleventh month..." How might you commemorate this day with an image? Do a little research- why was it called "The War to End All Wars?" What visual symbols remain, to this day, that serve to remind us of World War I?"

 
and found a poem that helped me find the mood I was looking for in the piece. Here is the poem:



“Move him into the sun —
Gently its touch awoke him once,
At home, whispering of fields unsown.
Always it woke him, even in France,
Until this morning and this snow.”

 - Wilfred Owen
