Thoughts from the Bus Stop

"..'Unjust!--unjust!' said my reason...and Resolve, equally wrought up, instigated some strange expedient to achieve escape from insupportable oppression--as running away, or, if that could not be effected, never eating or drinking more, and letting myself die. What a consternation of soul was mine...How all my brain was in tumult, and all my heart in insurrection! Yet in what darkness, what dense ignorance, was the mental battle fought!"
Jane Eyre, Charlotte Bronte

'O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me.'
Psalms 7 v1

Born in 1533, Elizabeth I was Queen of England from 1558 to her death in 1603. Her reign is often called the Elizabethan or 'Golden Age' because it was a time period of great advancement and achievement in England.

Queen Elizabeth I has been called an outstanding politician, orator, tactician, and musician. During her reign, Elizabeth unified a Protestant England against the Catholic Spanish and defeated the Spanish armada in 1588. She was responsible for English exploration of the New World and the flourishing of the economy, making England a world power. Elizabeth's court also became a center for poets, musicians, writers, and scholars.

So they made her into a Celebritiduck. Cheers, Barbelith - ignorance would have been bliss...

'The paired butterflies are already yellow with August
Over the grass in the West garden
They hurt me. I grow older...'
