Roll on thou deep and dark blue ocean, roll.
Ten thousand fleets sweet over thee in vain,
Man marks the earth with ruin,
His control stops at the shore.
Just a joke, Yit. Do you know who wrote it?
Well, that doesn't look as though it's a Florida beach, so let's try the Americas.
don't know who wrote it, but it's poetic.
not western hemisphere
George Gordon Lord Byron.
Ok, Yit. How about Asia?
The sea is calm to-night.
The tide is full, the moon lies fair
Upon the straits;--on the French coast, the light
Gleams and is gone; the cliffs of England stand,
Glimmering and vast, out in the tranquil bay.
Come to the window, sweet is the night-air!
Only, from the long line of spray
Where the ebb meets the moon-blanch'd sand,
Listen! you hear the grating roar
Of pebbles which the waves suck back, and fling,
At their return, up the high strand,
Begin, and cease, and then again begin,
With tremulous cadence slow, and bring
The eternal note of sadness in.
Yes, Francis. Dover Beach is lovely, no?
sometimes people overlook the obvious, but not this time obviously. Dover Beach it is.
Francis, why don't you do a place. You haven't done one since you went skinny dipping. <smile>
Well, I guess Francis didn't like my little joke.
Where am I?
Hint: It's not the rock of ages.
Hey, Dutchy. That structure resembles Greek architecture, but the place is not in Greece.
Humming the tune that I learned as a child.
the year 1620, the -------- came over.
Not Europe at all, Dutchy.
Isn't this a lovely flower? Someone named a ship after it.
1620 Pilgrims, flower?, something to do with the Mayflower?
(will be offline for a while after this)
Indeed, Dutchy. They had a tea party here once. <smile>
Looked all over Boston US to no avail.
Another hint for Dutchy when he awakens:
I had one of these Plymouth hatchbacks at one time.
And remember. It is NOT the ROCK of Gibraltar
Pilgrims, Boston, The year 1620, Mayflower and now Plymouth.?????????
US?
Before I can post my on photo from there next year ...
Put em all together, Dutchy. rock, (including Walter's) car, and you will have the place, honey.
Incidentally, in 1621 the first Thanksgiving in America was held, and I think it was Ben Franklin who named the turkey the national bird.
Hey, Walter. What's that new signature line of yours mean. (as if I didn't know.
)
