and that was last thursday. tonight is tuesday. tonight is tuesday and my homework is done and i darned some stocking that really didn't need it, and i worked a cross-word puzzle and i listened to the radio and now i'm just sitting. i'm just sitting because i can't think of anything else to do. i can't think of anything, anything but snowflakes and ice skates and a yellow moon and thursday night. the telephone is sitting on the corner table with its old black face turned to the wall. i don't even jump when it rings any more. my heart still prays but my mind just laughs. outside the night is still—so still i think i'll go crazy. and so i'm sitting here and i'm not feeling anything. i'm not even sad because all of a sudden i know. i can sit here now and forever and laugh and laugh while the tears run salty in the corners of my mouth. for all of a sudden, i know, i know what the stars knew all the time—he will never , never call—never.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
