English Folk Verse (c.1870) - The Fifth of November Remember, remember! The fifth of November, The Gunpowder treason and plot; I know of no reason Why the Gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot! That's the only portion of this poem I have known up until now, however this year I came across the rest which I have to say I am not in complete agreeance with. Guy Fawkes and his companions Did the scheme contrive, To blow the King and Parliament All up alive. Threescore barrels, laid below, To prove old England's overthrow. But, by God's providence, him they catch, With a dark lantern, lighting a match! A stick and a stake...
OK, alien moonscape, river delta, or let me guess.... tree bark?
ReplyDeleteLovely textures. You keep setting me impossible challenges. I want to creat a little bit of this colour mixture and texture in my life.
I tried oil pastels... very difficult, the knitting got close... (amazingly!) but how to do this?
