Quotes
[at the 'Lying in State' ceremony for Winston Churchill: January 26, 1965] Every resounding event seems to be followed by silence as history catches its breath. So it is this morning in this great bare hall - a silence like a falling of snow, holding the city and the world in a moment of profound reflection.
