…and they saw the light!

If they did they would not be charging against a wall of cannon fire but such is the glory and romance(alleged) of battle and the stuff on memorable poems and Errol Flynn movies.

So that’s how Thomas charged the world. Funny and good morning to you.

Hmmmm….I believe those bulbs are illegal now, aren’t they? They have to be energy savers.

I don’t know . I still use candles, pen and stationary, stamps and envelops and use the town’s phone at Dale’s Feed and Seed over in Eastbrook.

Is he still chasing Tesla?
Carl D'Agostino
January 3rd, 2013 at 11:17
Poor Tesla. Another Italian cheated out of his due recognition. At least they did not diminish Fermi and Marconi.

Sorry, Marconi infringed on Tesla, too…….
Was Edison charging off to the bank….?

Carl, you are one of the bright lights of 2013.

Thanks. Stay “plugged” in for more.

Ah, one of my favorite poems–based purely on my dad’s recounting of it. He learned it in school and could recite it quite well…”Cannon to the right of them, cannon to the left…” and the light bulb brigade makes me smile, too. When I was a young child I thought the poem did have something to do with light! You are so clever, Carl!

The poem is perfect for drama by speaker delivery. I liked Longfellow and Emily Dickinson but only a few by Whitman.

I never knew there were light bulbs involved. I learn something new today. Thanks Carl.

There are other omissions in famous battles across history. For example the WW II Battle of Coral Sea down your way did not involve a single piece of coral or sea shell. In addition there exist indicators that the battle may have been fought by monkeys in the jungles of Borneo.

For a minute I was in the dark, but thankfully, the light brigade saved the day…. and night.

Very eclectic, I mean electric comment.

You’re a better ‘lamp’ than I “Gunga Dim.” Oh by the way we know the brigade, but which filament were that attached to?
Carl D'Agostino
January 4th, 2013 at 14:37
Both had Errol Flynn I think.

If only “Muse” came in legions of bright ideas…I think my bulb has burned out…Oh well, live by the pen…die by the pen…

I understand. Mine’s been asleep last several months and redoing old stuff. I wrote to the Muse once. google – letters to erato carldagostino.

Sorry, I should have said ‘spark’ instead of ‘light’, Carl! Unfortunately I can’t edit my comment though.

I have a recording of Tennyson reciting this. Never cared for the poem before I heard him, but when I hear him with the words, I am there with the charge. Gives me goosebumps every time. Pretty sure I can thank the mind of Edison for that recording. Another brilliant invention of his.
Thanks for the smiles as always, Carl.

Dylan Thomas recital would be great too if one exists. What a voice for this.

A charge by the Royal FUSElliers? Then they went Ohm.
Sorry – but all the best puns had been taken! Guess I’m a Shade late…

2 good ones anyway. Thanks.
