You may think my life is quiet.
I find it full of change,
An ever-varied diet,
As piquant as 'tis strange.
Wild thoughts are always flying,
Like sparks across my brain,
Now flashing out, now dying,
To kindle soon again.
Fine fancies set me thrilling,
And subtle monsters creep
Before my sight unwilling:
They even haunt my sleep.
One broad, perpetual riot
Enfolds me night and day.
You think my life is quiet?
You don't know what you say.

Lead Kindly Light by John Henry Newman - The Pillar of the Cloud by John Henry Newman
1801 - 1890
Lead, Kindly Light, amidst thβencircling gloom,
Lead Thou me on!
The night is dark, and I am far from home,
Lead Thou me on!
Keep Thou my feet; I do not ask to see
The distant scene; one step enough for me.
I was not ever thus, nor prayed that Thou
Shouldst lead me on;
I loved to choose and see my path; but now
Lead Thou me on!
I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears,
Pride ruled my will. Remember not past years!
So long Thy power hath blest me, sure it still
Will lead me on.
Oβer moor and fen, oβer crag and torrent, till
The night is gone,
And with the morn those angel faces smile,
Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile!
Meantime, along the narrow rugged path,
Thyself hast trod,
Lead, Saviour, lead me home in childlike faith,
Home to my God.
To rest forever after earthly strife
In the calm light of everlasting life.

The ripest peach is highest on the tree β
And so her love, beyond the reach of me,
Is dearest in my sight. Sweet breezes, bow
Her heart down to me where I worship now!
She looms aloft where every eye may see
The ripest peach is highest on the tree.
Such fruitage as her love I know, alas!
I may not reach here from the orchard grass.
I drink the sunshine showered past her lips
As roses drain the dewdrop as it drips.
The ripest peach is highest on the tree,
And so mine eyes gaze upward eagerly.
Why β why do I not turn away in wrath
And pluck some heart here hanging in my path? β
Love's lower boughs bend with them β but, ah me!
The ripest peach is highest on the tree!

I HATE this grinding povertyβ
To toil, and pinch, and borrow,
And be for ever haunted by
The spectre of to-morrow.
It breaks the strong heart of a man,
It crushes out his spiritβ
Do what he will, do what he can,
However high his merit!
I hate the praise that Want has got
From preacher and from poet,
The cant of those who know it no
To blind the men who know it.
The greatest curse since man had birth,
An everlasting terror:
The cause of half the crime on earth,
The cause of half the error.

Antarctic tourism: Should we just say no?
bbc.com/travel/article/20240116-antarctic-tourism-should-we-just-say-no
It has nonetheless been adopted by IAATO, which also restricts how many ships can visit any given site per day as well as the number of passengers who can be (aground, ashore, inshore, stranded) at any one time.
"IAATO tend to lead in this area, because they are much more reactive," added Bergstrom. "What you can't expect them to do, as an industry body, is to (ceiling, cap, top, rein) numbers."
There is clear (concert, rapport, compliance, consensus) that something needs to change, but no agreement on what those changes should be.
Should landings be made at a larger number of sites for instance, or should we aim to keep the human (footstep, footprint, impression, fingerprint) as small as possible?
Perhaps we should say the peninsula is the part of Antarctica that receives the greatest human (percussion, impact, clout, clash) and that we should leave the rest alone.
"We are already seeing adventure-style tourism (spreading, distributing, scattering, laying) down to the Ross Sea," Leane said.
Christian believes that any caps β whether on number of sites or on the numbers of ships visiting β would be (quarrelsome, combative, pugnacious, contentious) and suggests an alternative might be to treat Antarctica as a national park and start charging entrance fees.
"Frankly there is so little regulation now that almost anything that will protect fragile areas and (ensure, deliver, guard, underwrite) industry is regulated by an official legal source rather than self-regulated, would be really positive," she said.
Researchers recommend that anyone thinking about visiting Antarctica should take a hard look at their motivation and the impacts of their (choice, option, pick, will) .
"As a researcher, it's a moral decision that I make every time I go, whether what I'm doing is worth the impact," said Leane, who says tourists should also (assess, evaluate, appraise, weigh) up the consequences.
"If your motivation is simply because you have stepped on six continents already and you want to step on the seventh β personally I think that's a fairly (facetious, fickle, futile, frivolous) reason."
Bergstrom also suggests (could, would, should, may)-be travellers think twice.

1876 β 1941
In a garden where the may made the straggling fences gay
And the roses cream and scarlet shed their petals on the breeze
Your maiden aunts and I, and you, demure and shy,
Played a sober game of croquet underneath the spreading trees.
Just beyond the garden wall we could hear the merry call
Of the tennis players yonder, flitting gaily in the sun,
But we recked not of their glee, for all too content were we,
And we werenβt flushed and heated when our quiet game was done.
What a picture sweet you made! As you rested in the shade,
Listening to my eager chatter with a glance of grave surprise;
Was it nectar, love, or tea that your white hands poured for me
In the dainty Wedgewood tea-cups that were bluer than your eyes?
Love I know not; this I know, that we parted years ago β
That our paths lie far asunder in the giddy whirl of life,
And the tender vows we made, underneath the spreading shade,
Are a memory half forgotten βmid the cityβs toil and strife.
But when wearied by its din, by its ceaseless strife and sin,
My thoughts will wander backwards at the close of some long day,
Once again I see you stand with your mallet in your hand,
βTwixt a nodding scarlet rose-bush and a hedge of snowy may.
And the scent of mignonette comes to haunt and thrill me yet
While your blue eyes light the distance with a half reproachful smile;
Love, it is the world sad way, just to worship for a day-
And I doubt if you remember, after all this weary while.

Where the pools are bright and deep,
Where the grey trout lies asleep,
Up the river and over the lea,
That's the way for Billy and me.
Where the blackbird sings the latest,
Where the hawthorn blooms the sweetest,
Where the nestlings chirp and flee,
That's the way for Billy and me.
Where the mowers mow the cleanest,
Where the hay lies thick and greenest,
There to track the homeward bee,
That's the way for Billy and me.
Where the hazel bank is steepest,
Where the shadow falls the deepest,
Where the clustering nuts fall free,
That's the way for Billy and me.
Why the boys should drive away
Little sweet maidens from the play,
Or love to banter and fight so well,
That's the thing I never could tell.
But this I know, I love to play
Through the meadow, among the hay;
Up the water and over the lea,
That's the way for Billy and me.

Young Thompson was a bit too short,
But hard as nails and level-headed,
And in his soul the proper sort
Of dogged pluck was deeply bedded ;
To join the ranks he almost ran,
But saw the weedy supersede him ;
Though he was every inch a man,
His country didn't need him.
He read each passionate appeal
On wall and window, cab and cart ;
How impotent they made him feel !
He tried once more, though sick at heart.
In vain ! He saw the sergeants smirk ;
He argued, but they would not heed him ;
So sullenly trudged back to work
His country didn't need him.
But, now the standard height's curtailed,
Again he goes to join the ranks ;
Though yesterday he tried and failed
To-day they welcome him with thanks.
Apparently, he's just as small,
But since his size no more impedes him,
In spirit he is six foot tall
Because his country needs him.

A Skipper of mark was Von Muller,
The humorous naval leg-puller.
With ubiquitous ease
He raided the seas
And his bag became fuller and fuller.
Though now he is finally done, he
Had a nice little run for his money,
And his victims' distress
He would gently suppress
With words that were sweeter than honey.
The high seas brought hazards to suit him,
His laurels, not one will dispute him,
No Briton could crow
Over such a game foe
And his enemy's flag will salute him.
