Jacob Lawrence, Soldiers and Students (1962)
August 7, 2008:
I felt so alone there.
Yet I also felt I'd found the one place where I belonged.
Part and parcel of our peculiar shared incompetence.
We felt we were us against the world,
so that in part we made it so.
Today I feel no kinship with that place, or the majority of those people.
I was not yet the person I am today.
