My Historical Journal...

"History, an enterprise requiring human effort, is often written from national motivations. History, in order to be scholarly, must in some way be freed from the limits this imposes." ~Timothy Snyder

…Am I not,
Myself, only half a figure of a sort,
A figure half seen, or seen for a moment, a man
Of the mind, an apparition appareled in
Apparels of such lightest look that a turn
Of my shoulders and quickly, too quickly, I am gone?
