Veteran's Day

Wed Nov 11, 2009, 6:01 PM
He is that fallen lance that lies as hurled,
That lies unlifted now, come dew, come rust,
But still lies pointed as it plowed the dust.
If we who sight along it round the world,
See nothing worthy to have been its mark,
It is because like men we look too near,
Forgetting that as fitted to the sphere,
Our missiles always make too short an arc.
They fall, they rip the grass, they intersect
The curve of earth, and striking, break their own;
They make us cringe for metal-point on stone.
But this we know, the obstacle that checked
And tripped the body, shot the spirit on
Further than target ever showed or shone.

-Solider, Robert Frost

And I'd like to link this deviation in particular, because I found it stunningly powerful.

To all the men and women who serve: no thanks I can express would ever be enough.

Didn't you make 3 more pics of Aang and Toph one when they were kissing one when them practicing together and one of Aang leaning up against Toph's swolen belly? If you did could you send them to me because they are some of my absolute favorite!

They are gone now, unfortunately. I'm very sorry. :(

I might be able to redo them in a few sketches, though. (Or see if someone else has uploaded them on Photobucket.)

Thank you very much for remembering my work, and enjoying it enough to ask.
