End of Chapter 18
THE DAWN
These people of England, they the living, buried their dead. They then seized their grief as surely as their grief seized them. They moved with the numbing sensation of an agonizing pain. Their emotional wounds slashed fiercely and deeply into their hearts. Yet they would not surrender; they would not give up. These people looked to their Almighty God, through their tears and anguish, for solace and comfort. They were bowed, but they were not broken. They stepped forward, from day to day, and night to harrowing night, always keeping faith in their belief that Heaven above now held their loved ones, the dead who perished in Hitler’s War. The survivors awaited their re-union with their loved ones, one day, perhaps even that next day, or night.
Those hallowed dead would be neither forsaken nor forgotten by their loved ones, the people of Great Britain. Those loved ones, the dead who were buried in the eternal soil of the British Isles, were henceforth honored by the living because they, the living, vowed that those beloved innocent souls would not have died in vain. They, the living, would triumph over Adolf Hitler. It did not matter how many or how few of the British people remained on those sceptered isles, they, the living, would never forget to honour the dead, and to make of life a sacrament to their sacrifices.
They, the living, would do more than win Hitler’s War. They would rise up and wage the People’s War; and they would prevail over this evil so that the future living would not have to bury their dead amidst another lightning of foul pernicious fire from the sky and foul pernicious fire from the earth. The wickedness of Adolf Hitler and his Nazis became the cause and the impetus for the creation of invincible good. The forces of life and love and liberty gathered together in strength and magnitude, and with the mystery and the gift which is life itself. This damnable, depraved devil could never imagine that the soldiers of the good could fight back and win.
The gathering of forces had begun to form a powerful momentum of the force for good. Goodness could no longer be mocked and mauled by the enslavers and the evildoers on this earth, an earth created by and belonging to, not the Third Reich, but to God Almighty. This force for good would seek not revenge but victory over the evil raining from the skies.
