The title of this post comes from a WWI poem:
Belgium
By Edith Wharton
La Belgique ne regrette rien
Not with her ruined silver spires,
Not with her cities shamed and rent,
Perish the imperishable fires
That shape the homestead from the tent.
Wherever men are staunch and free,
There shall she keep her fearless state,
And homeless, to great nations be
The home of all that makes them great.

Fitting topic for today, Tabatha. Such wonderful photos (especially loved Notre-Dame Cathedral in Tournai, Belgium and Dinant) and the poem was a perfect fit.
Longue Belgium en direct!
A lovely tribute.
