a Walk in old Quebec City: August 2020

I was fortunate enough to marry into a Quebecois family and have visited the province many times. Here are some photos from Vieux-Québec. Due to Covid 19, there were few tourists.

QUEBEC POEM

Of old, like Helen, guerdon of the strong —
Like Helen fair, like Helen light of word, —
“The spoils unto the conquerors belong.
Who winneth me must win me by the sword.”

Grown old, like Helen, once the jealous prize
That strong men battled for in savage hate,
Can she look forth with unregretful eyes,
Where sleep Montcalm and Wolfe beside her gate? – John McCrae
