LEST WE FORGET

[Michael Grove]

LET US NOT FORGET • as the 100th Anniversary celebrations of the founding

of the RAF recede into memory and the 100th Anniversary of the ending of

the Great War looms large • the words which Winston Churchill wrote in his

book Painting as a Pastime ...

"Whether you feel that your soul is pleased by the conception or contemplation of harmonies or that your mind is stimulated by the aspect of magnificent problems or whether you are content to have fun in trying to observe and depict the jolly things you see, the vistas of possiblity are limited only by the shortness of life. Every day you may make progress; every day you may be fruitful, yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb."
