President's Day

     Monday, February 21, was President’s Day in the United States.
     President’s Day is a rebooted name for what Americans once celebrated as George Washington (February 22) and Abraham Lincoln’s (February 12) birthday.
     Here is a lovely undated picture of Abraham Lincoln.
     After Lincoln was assassinated in Ford’s Theater in Washington, DC, on April 15, 1864, at the age of 56, the great American poet Walt Whitman wrote these words:

When lilacs last in the dooryard bloom’d,
And the great star early droop’d in the western sky in the night,
I mourn’d, and yet shall mourn with ever-returning spring.
Ever-returning spring, trinity sure to me you bring,
Lilac blooming perennial and drooping star in the west,
And thought of him I love.
