As old and true as the sky Enjoy the following in good faith. G'day you beautiful people. This is from a former serving officer with respect to my Australian child. #1 The Victorian charter of rights and responsibilities act of 2006 section 19. Did you look up to the roof or sky or did you look it up? Do not let things get lost in translation. #2 Band "Hard skinned" and the song Cobber Chump" #3 The Boxing Day test cricket is at the Melbourne Cricket Ground Cobber. #4 That's for forgetting Jack and Daisy my child and my Grandchild. All driving on the same roads. #5 A prerequisite defensive driving course of eight hours in a class environment as a prerequisite for all probationary licences issued in Victoria ultimately Australia. What read tape?. Cut it out when we get what we want. The highest attainable standards of driver education as that is what we deserve as Australians and it is also what the emergency services deserve. Shame this Patton of carnage all over the land has continued for so long. A act of Parliament to remember for the next one hundred years or???. Damm it feels good to be a father.

A beautiful poem! The 2024 movie "After Her Smile" features the poem "Curfew" by Longfellow, bringing its themes to life in a moving narrative.

This poem Resonates with me and reminds me of the first time I went to abroad to work at a kibbutz in Israel in almost 18 years old in 1982. I was there with other volunteers from around Europe and North America with the occasional person from South America and even India. One of the first things I noticed was everybody was much better looking than the British people plus I also realised what British people at the time called "holiday weather" and we would have for 2 weeks a year when we went on holiday these people had it all year round . later I thought about it not only did they have it all year around, they have it all their life! Life in all these so called 3rd World countries is far far far far more pleasant than living in the British Isles which are cold and wet and dreary and grey. Life is so much easier and more pleasant in the warm and hot countries of the world living in cold countries is hard and horrible, think about how much fun they have in Greenland i.e. virtually none.

Kipling was one of the best English poets. He's not well regarded due to the colonial past. He only had the best intentions for India and it's people.

@jgarbo3541 3 ай бұрын

Nonsense. He was a tool of British imperialism, which destroyed India and impoverished it for centuries.

"The Road to Mandalay" is a nostalgic poem about his time in the Far East, written when he was returning from 7 years in India via Burma. Kipling claimed that when in Moulmein, he had paid no attention to the Great Pagoda his poem later made famous, because he was so struck by a Burmese beauty on the steps. He wrote at the time "I love the Burman with the blind favouritism born of first impression. When I die I will be a Burman … and I will always walk about with a pretty almond-coloured girl who shall laugh and jest too, as a young maiden ought." Very broad-minded for 1890.

@@taggartlawfirm I pay no attention to fashionable labels. They come and go with whatever people feel they need to say for attention. Their opinions held as fast as the next screen that captivates them. The fashionable can call Kipling what they like. Won't change our opinion of him one iota.

Probably nothing changes. I believe certainly in the USA there are large numbers of suicides,among veterans. And here we have a genocide supporting government of Sunak, Cameron, etc. who have learned nothing and should be in prison, along with Bliar.

The poem isn't that bad, it all depends on who is reciting the version you're listening to. This one makes you slightly uncomfortable, but the version recited by Taylor Holmes in 1915 drives you insane because of how scary his voice makes the poem sound. The graininess of the audio and the emotion he puts into it makes it very hard to listen to. Espically at 2:50 in the morning (I think I made a mistake by not waiting until morning)
