thanks Cynthetiq, that used to hang on the wall of my grandparents house and I haven't seen it for years... brings back memories
i have memorized this poem, which is good in adversity
Quote:
as i went down past charing cross
a plain and simple man was i
I might have been no more than air
unseen by any mortal eye
but lord in heaven, had i the power
to show my inward spirit there
then what a pack of human hounds
had hunted me, to strip me bare
a human pack, ten thousand strong
all in full cry to bring me down
all greedy for my magic robe
all crazy for my burning crown
W.H. Davies
