The poet was very tender and loving to his five children - there were two boys as well- and had a life-long relationship with them.

Banditti are bandits.

Title:The Childrens Hour Description:Here is my little recital of this poem by Henry Longfellow.<br />Here is Urgelt's channel, where I found his video where he recited this poem.<br />http://www.youtube.com/user/Urgelt<br /><br />:]Title:"Gunga Din" by Rudyard Kipling (poetry) Description:In Hindi, Gunga Din means "Spirit of the Ganges".<br /><br />It's superfluous to say that the poet means that some of the people of India were brave and noble as any white man. Gunga Din was only a water carrier, but he played his part as bravely as any soldier, saved lives and earned their respect.Title:"After the Last Breath" by Thomas Hardy (poetry) Description:His mother Jemima never lost her mental acuity or interest in his work. Hardy is honest about how death makes all that mattered until that moment superfluous and how foolish the accoutrements then appear. The sense of relief, the practical decisions about what to do next are all the more affecting because they are so real.Title:Henry Wadsworth Longfellow- "The Image of GOD" (Poem) Description:Henry Wadsworth Longfellow- "The Image of GOD" (Poem)<br />I did it to Jean Luc Ponty's "Cosmic Messanger"Title:Longfellow "Paul Revere's Ride" Poem Animation Movie Description:Heres a virtual movie of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1802 - 1882)reading his legendary poem "Paul Revere's Ride".<br /><br />"Listen, my children, and you shall hear/Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere ..." So begins one of the most stirring poems in American literature. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote "Paul Revere's Ride" in 1861, nearly 100 years after the actual midnight ride that began on April 18, in 1775. The poem creates a suspenseful story as American colonist Paul Revere decides with his friend Robert Newman and others to avert a British attack on Concord, Massachusetts. The British had come from Boston in search of the colonists' arms supply. What Revere and his friends didn't know was whether the Redcoats would come by land (around the mouth of the Charles River) or by sea (across the river). Newman spotted the British "by sea" and signaled from the Old North Church tower to Revere, who was "Ready to ride and spread the alarm/Through every Middlesex village and farm,/For the country folk to be up and to arm." And, by morning, the country folk were ready, indeed. "Chasing the red-coats down the lane,/Then crossing the fields to emerge again/Under the trees at the turn of the road,/And only pausing to fire and load." This battle, the first of the American Revolution, drove the British back to Boston.<br /><br />The poem is read superbly by the late actor Daniel Massey...<br /><br />Kind Regards<br /><br />Jim Clark<br />All rights are reserved on this video recording copyright Jim Clark 2008<br /><br />Paul Revere's Ride........ <br /><br />Listen my children and you shall hear<br />Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere,<br />On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-five;<br />Hardly a man is now alive<br />Who remembers that famous day and year.<br />He said to his friend, "If the British march<br />By land or sea from the town to-night,<br />Hang a lantern aloft in the belfry arch<br />Of the North Church tower as a signal light,--<br />One if by land, and two if by sea;<br />And I on the opposite shore will be,<br />Ready to ride and spread the alarm<br />Through every Middlesex village and farm,<br />For the country folk to be up and to arm."<br /><br />Then he said "Good-night!" and with muffled oar<br />Silently rowed to the Charlestown shore,<br />Just as the moon rose over the bay,<br />Where swinging wide at her moorings lay<br />The Somerset, British man-of-war;<br />A phantom ship, with each mast and spar<br />Across the moon like a prison bar,<br />And a huge black hulk, that was magnified<br />By its own reflection in the tide.

But that wasn't the only thing the BBC was sorry about. It made several apologies during 2008, ...
