“Don't let it be forgot, that once there was a spot, for one brief shining moment, that was known as Camelot.”
― Alan Jay Lerner
~~~
On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe’s haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o’er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, now conceals, now discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning’s first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines on the stream;
’
Tis the star-spangled banner;
O long may it wave
O’er the land of the free,
and the home of the brave!
from The Defence of Fort McHenry
Francis Scott Key 1779 – 1843
