My nephews wear Virginia Tech sweatshirts and baseball caps all the time. That school will never be the same. A VT parent told the New York Times that she is
"totally outraged." Outrage doesn't seem to cover it this time. Not sure a word exists to cover this one.

I don't know anyone at VT, but I can't help but feel a sense of loss. I'm more sad than outraged. But no single word will suffice. So I turn to the poet. Somehow, it helps to see profound feelings put into words.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow
Macbeth, Act V, Sc. V
