Weeks after the invasion, Grenadians were still smelling out and burying bodies which lay all over the island. The true casualty figures will never be known. No civilian body count is available. Even the bodies of Maurice Bishop and his slain ministers are never positively identified, no doubt to forestall any possible enshrinement by the people who loved him, no doubt to make the task of smearing his popular memory more easily accomplished. It has already begun.
What It Means
This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "Weeks after the invasion, Grenadians were still smelling out and burying bodies which lay all over the island. The true casualty figures will never be known. No civilian body count is available. Even the bodies of Maurice Bishop and his slain ministers are never positively identified, no doubt to forestall any possible enshrinement by the people who loved him, no doubt to make the task of smearing his popular memory more easily accomplished. It has already begun." in the context of "Audre Lorde, Grenada Revisited: An Interim Report, (1984), Sister Outsider: Essays and Speeches publisher: Crossing Press, ISBN: 978-0-89594-142-8" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
