A Candle of Belief
My lifetime study of history has taught me many things, one thing I've hold on tight to in my life: there has never been a true victory over the human spirit. It wins out even over death. Elizabeth Tudor - despite her many human failings - will forever remain 'hero' in my mind because her life story is a perfect example of how the human spirit can prevail over almost impossible odds.
