IN MEMORIAM ELIZABETH RUSH
RUSH
Elizabeth, August 15, 1998.
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.
So hope for a great sea-change,
On the far side of revenge,
Believe that a farther shore,
Is reachable from here,
Believe in miracles,
And cures and healing wells.
Seamus Heaney
Chorus from The Cure at Troy 1977
Love Andrew and Orla.
