““Forward, the Light Brigade!”
Was there a man dismayed?
Not though the soldier knew
Someone had blundered.
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die.
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.”
Tennyson
Don’t you and Al in Ottawa ever sleep? That was fast! That is Tennyson’s more obscure line of a poem. I thought it would take more time for it to be revealed.
That’s why I worked night shift. Let’s me make use of the insomnia. 🤪
I worked weekend grave as there was much less admin people there…
I need to read more Tennyson
It was quoted in one of the later Bond movies when the old hag M died. I remember that more than my i did from my worthless english lit degree.
