Never Say Never

What experience and history teaches us is that people and governments have never learned anything from history, or acted on principles deduced from it.
— Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770-1831)

Never Say Never

What experience and history teaches us is that people and governments have never learned anything from history, or acted on principles deduced from it.
— Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770-1831)

The titled responsion is a Hegelian reminder to pay serious attention to the lessons of the past and never forget Remembrance Day.

Never again, they said, shall we fall victim to tyranny or the whim of a despot. The cautionary three-word tale of never say never begins and ends with the spoken word, bookended with nevermore.

Bequeath to All

Quoth the raven, "Nevermore!"
— Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849)

The titled responsion is the ultimate irony, a contradiction of sorts; Edgar's Raven is immortalized.
