What's New OR: 'Yo, ladies ... What's happenin ? Whatever Next ? [ Downs Lord Triptych / The Two Confessions / Amy-Faith & the Stronghold] | Batch the Seventh ****** 'None of the great shall enter our peaceful abode. I hate them all ......' and 'I am one of those who believe that in England the higher the class the worse the company.' Horatio Nelson. Both from 1801 letters to Emma Hamilton about their idyllic but all too short life together at 'Paradise Merton' in Surrey. ****** And from the same great man: 'In the presence of the enemy, all Englishmen should be brothers.' and 'If there were more Emmas, there would be more Nelsons.' and 'We are few but of the right stuff'*. * [ And you thought it was coined for American astronauts ! Actually from 1794, regarding the British attack on Corsica ] Plus, the universal wisdom: 'Such things are ...' [ In reality, Nelson's 1794 stoical response to official ingratitude for his Corsican heroism, but applicable to all things and all times ... ]
