I have touched the highest point of all my greatness,
And from that full meridian of my glory,
I haste now to my setting. I shall fall
Like a bright exhalation in the evening,
And no man see me more.
Cardinal Wolsey, Henry VIII

John McCrae was a med student @utoronto.ca when his poetry was first published. As a soldier in Ypres, he wrote In Flanders Fields. Due in part to his poem, the poppy was adopted as the Flower of Remembrance for the war dead of Canada and other Commonwealth countries. #RemembranceDay #LestWeForget
