ourtrueabode: ‘Such was his achievement as conqueror. His greater achievement as a ruler was to weld this collection of different states, different races, different religions, into a whole. It was accomplished by elaborate organisation.’

DanielDVince: Having owned this book for just about a year, it kept a secret from me. ‘The Death of Adam and other poems’ by Laurence Binyon, inscribed to artist Henry Winslow in 1911. Flicking to the rear endpapers, I discovered a sketch which appears to be in Winslow’s hand…

j2imrat: Somebody just told me to delete a file because it was "neither use nor ornament". Reminded me of Laurence Binyon's classic 'Painting in the Far East' where he explains that the divide between art and functionality is quite a Western idea. Helpful for understanding East Asian art.
terminallytang1: There was a time when I had nothing but contempt for Michael Heseltine. No more. He is a giant in his analysis and every word has proved to be a correct prediction. I was there. As Laurence Binyon said, 'To the end, to the end, We Remain.'

RiviasHunter: Ypres
By Laurence Binyon
She was a city of patience; of proud name,
Dimmed by neglecting Time; of beauty and loss;
Of acquiescence in the creeping moss.
But on a sudden fierce destruction came
Tigerishly pouncing: thunderbolt and flame >

FintryTrust: Now is the time for stripping the spirit bare,
Time for the burning of days ended and done,
Idle solace of things that have gone before:
Rootless hope and fruitless desire are there;
Let them go to the fire, with never a look behind.

Kulambq: Reading Laurence Binyon's translation of 'The Divine Comedy,' which is quite rightly regarded as the best. It just goes to show that abiding by the original meter and rhyming scheme need not lead to the sacrifice of the content. A masterful and joyous translation. What a treat.
