Lives of great men will remind us
We can make our lives sublime
And,departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time.
Footprints, that perhaps another,
Sailing o’er life’s solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again.
Longfellow

I saw a jolly hunter
With a jolly gun
Walking in the country
In the jolly sun.
In the jolly meadow
Sat a jolly hare.
Saw the jolly hunter.
Took jolly care.
Hunter jolly eager-
Sight of jolly prey.
Forgot gun pointing
Wrong jolly way.
Jolly hunter jolly head
Over heels gone.
Jolly old safety catch
Not jolly on.
Bang went the jolly gun.
Hunter jolly dead.
Jolly hare got clean away.
Jolly good, I said.

Welcome home, Sir Hugh. I've enjoyed reading your posts about this walk.
ReplyDeleteKudos, too, on starting your sixth book!
The Crow - good to hear from you again, and I'm glad to learn you enjoyed my blog - a bit of a change from all that intellectual stuff on Works Well eh?
ReplyDeleteOh, is that what it is? (A wink and a nod to BB.)
ReplyDeleteI do my travel vicariously through the blogs of those who actually leave home, one of the reasons I enjoy reading yours.
Just checking in to see what's new, then noticed the green sign that hadn't registered with me before.
ReplyDeleteSo, just how much do monks go for nowadays, in your neck of the woods?
The Crow - I have a folder in My Pics on the computer called "Signs".For the last couple of years on my travels I have been taking a shot of any eccentric signs I see. So far I have only about 40 of these. I also take pics of what I call "relics". and the loading shovel overgrown pic has qualified in that department.
ReplyDeleteWhen I have enough I may do a self publish book of them using the Lulu website that I have used to produce books of my walks.
As for the cost of monks I'm not sure what I would do with one if I could afford it. With their usual vow of silence communication would be difficult, but one may absorb meaningful values through association. I think I would prefer mine to be Bhuddist
