Eleanor was the youngest daughter of a lawyer from Lincoln's Inn. As was typical for the middle class, while girls were educated at home. At an early age she demonstrated skill in drawing ...

Alfred Lord Tennyson





 Alfred Tennyson (1809-1892) - the largest English poet of the second half of the XIX century, very rarely published in Russia. However, the word "strive, to seek, to find and not to yield" (in the original: "To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield") - this is the final line of the poem by Alfred Tennyson's "Ulysses." They are carved on the tomb of polar explorer Robert Scott, who died in 1912 during the return journey from the South Pole.

Nothing inspires like understanding that what we are, much more likely, that could ever happen to us. Whatever happens, but if we, like mason, will continue to strike, we will succeed.




No retreat!
When things go wrong, as sometimes happens,
When you think that the road on which you trudge,
All the while going up the hill,
When money is short, and a lot of debt,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When caring crush on you
Relax, if you need it - but do not retreat!
We all know what twists and turns
Sometimes life presents us ...
And if we stand up to the end,
Many lesions will turn into victories!
Do not retreat because the promotion seems slow -
The next step can bring you victory ... Success - the downside of failure,
Silver gleam of the clouds of doubt -
And you never know how close you are to the goal,
May be much closer than it seems from a distance;
And the harder you, the deeper into the fight,
No matter how badly things were going - do not retreat!
Edgar A.Gest

Leah Wingfield, Steve Clements \ Music of the day





Music of the day

When meeting a new day, morning music plays dawn.
Fog and quiet like jazz carefully violate privacy.
This mesmerizing silence vaguely jazz mystery leads to believe in all the legends dawn of peace.
World full of subtle poetry, love, alien fuss and desire for pointless luxury.
Here it is a luxury - the luxury of dawn.
It is perceived as emotional content, the flow of thoughts and feelings is not associated with the bustle of the upcoming and already wake up the day. Quite awake day and will sound different music, jazz is not quiet, but what?
Maybe violin everyday, flute votes random encounters, and sax evening fatigue when your eyes, as if not enough light, chilly heart wants warmth and comfort, and the memory stubbornly returned to the predawn jazz ...
