He has outsoar’d the shadow of our night;
Envy and calumny and hate and pain,
And that unrest which men miscall delight,
Can touch him not and torture not again.

  1. One Comment to “Aviators: Quentin Roosevelt – He died fighting”

  2. I have a post card sent to my grandmother by her son, alieutenant in the army during WW I. A picture on this post card purports to be Lt. Roosevelt’s aircraft which had just been shot down alongside of Lt. Roosevelts body. Supposedly taken by a german photographer. I appears to be authentic and I have no desire to sell it nor am I interested in it’s worth. Just making a comment and asking about your opinion of it’s authenticity. I’m sure there were many just like it at the time. dw
