A Love Letter to the British Isles
About Me
- Jeffrey Smith
- "All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, a light from the shadows shall spring; renewed shall be blade that was broken, the crownless again shall be king.”

One of my very favorits. Good taste, Jeffrey.
Where is her oarsmen? She look as if she's about to swoon!
In Tennyson's "The Lady of Shalott" the lady floats down to Camelot alone, dying during the passage.
In his earlier "Lancelot and Elaine" the lady's dead body floats down to Camelot with a servant oarsman who is mute because his tongue had been cut out years earlier.
Blogger deleted my blog for no good reason! I shant bother to reopen another, farewell.
