Home of The Brave is Wherever You Roar

The last we talked, The Partisan Ship was leaving port… Since then, the tone of media has changed and people who ROAR are starting to be heard.

Let’s celebrate this turning point with a song about the best songs about ROARING! See below for a link to the Spotify playlist. This original song was created from a particular list of works I have been studying for the past month.

Created with Suno, full lyrics available here. (download link)

Poems

“If—” by Rudyard Kipling
This poem is a timeless piece about maintaining composure, integrity, and bravery in the face of challenges.

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

I am the captain of my soul.

And that has made all the difference.

Do not go gentle into that good night.

FOR NATIONAL GALLERY

Two Paintings to Be Contributed by Princess Parlaghy

Princess Livoff (sic) Parlaghy, the artist, has offered to paint portraits of two of this country’s greatest men for hanging in the National Art Gallery of the new National Museum, nearing completion on the Mall, and the offer has been accepted by Director Walcott. The subjects will be decided upon later at a conference between the artist and the museum authorities.

Princess Parlaghy is said to be the only woman artist to receive a bronze medal at the Chicago exposition. She has received gold medals from Pope Leo XIII, the German and Austrian emperors, and the Paris salon. She is at present spending a few weeks at Hot Springs, Va., and will come to this city in May.
