Dear Forgiveness, you know that recently we have had our difficulties and there are many things I want to ask you

webgott + richard siken’s ‘litany in which certain things are crossed out’

"Before a guy is hit I know he's going to be wounded. I know where he's going to be wounded." - Dick Winters on why watching Band of Brothers was "very tough."

wanted to find these clippings because in 'biggest brother' dick commends the piece as, “the best article about me i have ever seen. you [the reporter] did a helluva job. and the picture was terrific.” the author of both the book and the article says he and his photographer became dick's favorites.

when read alongside articles of winters written around the same time frame, the biggest difference is that this feels a lot more intimate on the account of the interview being done in his own home, in his office and contains more of his voice outside of ambrose's book. dick created copies of this article and photos that he would send back to people who wrote him fanmail in the 2000s.

going my way?

If you must die,

I'll envy even the earth that wraps your body

In this sprawling landscape

how’d you know just where I’d be

— St Crispin's Day Speech by William Shakespeare

Guess who finished watching band of brothers for the second time in 3 weeks😭

Funny story actually, I started watching it because a man set next to me on my train ride to school. Put down his phone and started watching it. I peered over his shoulder to watch it with him bc I recognized so many of the actors in it!

And form there in the story is pretty self explanatory hahaha.
