For Junior

Today marks the one year anniversary of my nephew Sean Jr.’s passing.
Time is too fleeting and life is too precious.
Give someone you love an extra hug today and tell them you love them.  We can never show it or say it enough…

A Roman Rome

If Rome had not engulfed so many men of alien blood in so brief a time, if she had passed all these newcomers through her schools instead of her slums, if she had treated them as men with a hundred potential excellences, if she had occasionally closed her gates to let assimilation catch up with infiltration, she might have gained new racial and literary vitality from the infusion, and might have remained a Roman Rome, the voice and citadel of the West.
