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. A beautiful shot. I like the bird. Must have been a sunset or sunrise. Or this is a reflection. I like the photo but just never saw a sky that color before.
ReplyDeleteThat's great! I love that :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a different photograph from any of the others I have seen thus far this morning. I do like the way you have chosen to put it together. The colour of the sky is uniquely gorgeous but it is the underbelly of the bird that is the focus. I like this very much.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
Oh, you put my feeble effort for today to shame! Wonderful!
