sonnet 19
when i consider how my light is spent,
e're half my days, in this dark world and wide,
and that one talent which is death to hide,
lodg'd with me useless, though my soul more bent
to serve therewith my maker, and present 5
my true account, least he returning chide,
doth god exact day labour, light deny'd,
i fondly ask; but patience to prevent
that murmur, soon replies, god doth not need
either man's work or his own gifts, who best 10
bear his milde yoak, they serve him best, his state
is kingly. thousands at his bidding speed
and post o're land and ocean without rest:
they also serve who only stand and waite.
—john milton

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
