November The Twenty-Third

O MERCIFUL Father, grant me such self-control in my imagination and my memory that my last waking thoughts may strengthen and ennoble my soul. So renew me inwardly and outwardly that I may be vigorous with spiritual purpose, and may awake with a morning face and a morning heart - Amen.

-- L.H.M. SOULSBY (prayer) Photo in London, December 1946, Life magazine archives

  1. How I love this photo of London in this time. Tonight, walking the streets of Athens, the fog is this heavy, the lights this incandescent. Magic.
