I never understood this poem until now:

RFK Quote " My favorite poem, my—my favorite poet was Aeschylus. And he once wrote:

Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget

Falls drop by drop upon the heart,

Until, in our own despair,

Against our will,

Comes wisdom

Through the awful grace of God.

What we need in the United States is not division;

what we need in the United States is not hatred;

what we need in the United States is not violence and lawlessness,

but is love, and wisdom, and compassion

toward one another; and a feeling of justice toward

those who still suffer within our country, whether they

be white or whether they be black. " Robert Kennedy’s Speech regarding the death of MLK
