Example: resilient - adj. strong in the face of hard times; able to bounce back after great trial or suffering. Bern Williams once said, "Man never made any material as resilient as the human spirit." This man was an outfielder for the NY Yankees and is a Puerto Rican musician. Although he is very different than the subject of this novel, the theme is still true: all people go through trials that prove their resilience.

It explores Adolf Hitler's rise and his early consolidation of power during the years after World War I and focuses on how the embittered, politically fragmented and economically buffeted state of German society following the war made that ascent possible. The film also focuses on Ernst Hanfstaengl's influence on Hitler's rise to power. The miniseries, which premiered simultaneously in May 2003 on CBC in Canada and CBS in the United States, received two Emmy awards, for Art Direction and Sound Editing.

-I would rather
Sit under the
Lemon tree
Then listen
To your
Honey poison.
Like rotting blooms
And old perfume
Your words
Meaning nothing
Under the layer
Of silk and rainbows.
Instead I will
Plunge into
The salt water
And tangle in
The black seaweed
And bitter waves
And drown there.
