Workfag anon:
When I think of General Flynn's situation or when reflecting upon candidate/President Trump reading 'The Snake' poem, this poem always comes to mind. Thought I would share.
——————————————————————–
Half close your eyelids, loosen your hair,
And dream about the great and their pride;
They have spoken against you everywhere,
But weigh this song with the great and their pride;
I made it out of a mouthful of air,
Their children's children shall say they have lied.
- William Butler Yeats
