Quotations is about words, written and spoken throughout history. Words speak to us through our eyes and our ears. They enrich our lives, allow us to communicate thoughts to others, and sometimes, last for generations. This podcast explores not only the words, but the speaker, author, figure, or character who originated them. To whom were they said or written? What was their intended effect and on whom? What was the originator thinking? Find out each episode and we discover new quotations, some familiar, some not!

Episode 181 - Poetry Explication #13: Dust If You Must by Rose Milligan

There isn’t a lot of well-known poetry by Rose Milligan, but Dust if You Must is one you should know. It’s a fantastic reminder that life can be cruel and short and that spending our time on superficial things that matter little might just be the thing we regret the most in the end.
Today’s episode is dedicated to my good friend Kenny Brown, who lost a shipmate and close friend early this year. He read this poem at her funeral and it is a fitting one indeed.
