Channel firing (1914)
Thomas Hardy That night your great guns, unawares, Shook all our coffins as we lay, And broke the chancel window-squares, We thought it was the Judgement-day And sat upright. While drearisome Arose the howl of wakened hounds: The mouse let fall the altar-crumb, The worms drew back into the mounds, The glebe cow drooled. Till God called, ‘No; It’s gunnery practice out at sea Just as before you went below; The world is as it used to be: ‘All nations striving strong to make Red war yet redder. Mad as hatters They do no more for Christés sake Than you who are helpless in such matters. ‘That this is not the judgment-hour For some of them’s a blessed thing, For if it were they’d have to scour Hell’s floor for so much threatening… ‘Ha, ha. It will be warmer when I blow the trumpet (if indeed I ever do; for you are men, And rest eternal sorely need).’ So down we lay again. ‘I wonder, Will the world ever saner be,’ Said one, ‘than when He sent us under In our indifferent century!’ And many a skeleton shook his head. ‘Instead of preaching forty year,’ My neighbour Parson Thirdly said, ‘I wish I had stuck to pipes and beer.’ Again the guns disturbed the hour, Roaring their readiness to avenge, As far inland as Stourton Tower, And Camelot, and starlit Stonehenge.

For my Grove friends. "There are wood ships, there are good ships…there are ships that sail the sea. But the best ships are friendships….may they always be."

Never knew this thread even existed! Some magnificent stuff above - the piece by Hardy that Frank posted up some years ago is a very poignant marker for what's going on in Ukraine...

Read this line in a book I just finished.

An old saying of my mother's popped into my head yesterday.
May have posted this before but anyway. "If I Don't See You Through The Week I'll See You Through The Window". |

There's a Japanese legend that says, "If you feel like you're losing everything. remember that trees lose their leaves every year and they still stand tall and wait for better days to come."
