It came to them very late,
With long arrears to make good,
When the Saxon began to hate.
They were not easily moved,
They were icy — willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the Saxon began to hate.
Their voices were even and low.
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not preached to the crowd.
It was not taught by the state.
No man spoke it aloud
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not suddenly bred.
It will not swiftly abate.
Through the chilled years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the Saxon began to hate.
Excellent Tracy. Always been a fan of Kipling.

Great piece, Tracy. Of course I am immediately reminded of that rascal Winston Churchill who was asked by a lady of state if he like Kipling....Winston replied, "I don't know, Madame, I have never been kippled.'

Winston would have a damn good one to share a few drinks with and exactly what England needed in her time of greatest need.


America could use someone just like him right now before it's too late; if it isn't already...

OBTW if didn't happen to catch Harley and the Davidsons when it aired and are interested, you can watch it on Discovery's site.

I do believe, in a different way, The Donald might fill that bill. I wasn't sure when he first announced but now the dust has settled and to me there is no other choice.
