“Perhaps the greatest service many of us can render our country just now is merely to pretend that we aren’t feeling uncomfortable even if we are,”
said Lord Elton in a broadcast talk. “Then even if things look grim at the moment, we all have our memories. Sometimes perhaps the memories will seem almost too poignant to dwell on now—memories of old unshadowed holidays in wiud and sun, of games with the children on long summer evenings on the lawn, or peaceful hours by one’s own fireside. And yet, be sure, even though we do not know it, those memories will be strengthening us now. They are the enduring stuff of life, the deep well-springs of our being on which we unconsciously draw until the dark days pass.”
