Quote of the Week – Last Rose

All her lovely companions are faded and gone;

No flower of her kindred, no rosebud is nigh,

To reflect back her blushes, or give sigh for sigh.

Thomas Moore.

Engage in quarrels and disputes.

Deep Peace of the quiet earth to you.

Deep Peace of the son of peace to you,

this Christmas and all through the year.
