From Evangeline by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow: Many a weary year had passed since the burning of Grand-Pre, When on the falling tide the freighted vessels departed, Bearing a nation, with all its household gods, into exile, Exile without an end, and without an example in story. Far asunder, on separate coasts, the Acadians landed; Scattered were they, like flakes of snow, when the wind from the northeast Strikes aslant through the fogs that darken the Banks of Newfoundland. Peace, Melvis :TSTRE

ewww, nice clue Melvis. I was going to go for 8 Cups, but then the word EXILE suggests to me the 6 Swords. So for my first guess, I'll go for the 6 Swords? A.

Ooohhhh! You got it on the first guess, Allibee! I knew it would be pretty easy to figure out but it was such strong imagery that I thought I'd go for it anyway. Talk about taking a journey at the point of a sword...the Acadians had to pledge their loyalty to England or take a hike. It's on to you, Allibee! Peace, Melvis :TSTRE
