Remember, Remember
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...
Wow, very cool photo! :-)
ReplyDeleteThat is fabulous. You should definitely enter that in a competition.
ReplyDeleteAthene challenged Arachne to a contest to see who could weave the best, following Arachne's boasts about her skills as a weaver.
ReplyDeleteThe people would judge the finer work of the two.
Athene wove using the clouds,while Arachne used the finest yarn.
Arachne did not win and her life was changed from that of a young girl to that of a spider, which many of are called Arachnids.
What a wonderful web Arachne has produced for your photo. What a good eye you have for composition.
Hey L^2. Thank you muchly; a very clever Arachne indeed!
ReplyDeleteHello Mac's Niece! Bowledover and Lord L suggested that also. I cannot take much credit really but I should have a go. I am really enjoying looking for beautiful moments to snap at. My second job of the day, after putting the kettle on, is wandering out into the back garden and snapping a few shots of the sunrise and clouds!
Bowldeover, there is only one thing to do with that story, see post Athene & Arachne, 21st September 2007, around tea time. Thank you, that's beautiful.
