THE BATTLE OF BLENHEIM by Robert Southey (1774-1843)
It was a summer evening,
Old Kaspar's work was done;
And he before his cottage door
Was sitting in the sun,
And by him sported on the green
His little grandchild Wilhelmine.
She saw her brother Peterkin
Roll something large and round,
That he beside the rivulet
In playing there had found;
He came to ask what he had found,
That was so large, and smooth, and round.
Old Kaspar took it from the boy
Who stood expectant by;
And then the old man shook his head,
And with a natural sigh,
'Tis some poor fellow's scull, said he,
Who fell in the great victory.
I find them in the garden, for
There's many here about,
And often when I go to plough,
The ploughshare turns them out;
For many thousand men, said he,
Were slain in the great victory.
Now tell us what 'twas all about,
Young Peterkin he cries,
And little Wilhelmine looks up
With wonder-waiting eyes;
Now tell us all about the war,
And what they kill'd each other for.
It was the English, Kaspar cried,
That put the French to rout;
But what they kill'd each other for,
I could not well make out.
But every body said, quoth he,
That 'twas a famous victory.
My father lived at Blenheim then,
Yon little stream hard by,
They burnt his dwelling to the ground
And he was forced to fly;
So with his wife and child he fled,
Nor had he where to rest his head.
With fire and sword the country round
Was wasted far and wide,
And many a childing mother then,
And new-born infant died.
But things like that, you know, must be
At every famous victory.
They say it was a shocking sight
After the field was won,
For many thousand bodies here
Lay rotting in the sun;
But things like that you know must be
After a famous victory.
Great praise the Duke of Marlbro' won,
And our good Prince Eugene.—
Why 'twas a very wicked thing!
Said little Wilhelmine.
Nay—nay—my little girl, quoth he,
It was a famous victory.
And every body praised the Duke
Who such a fight did win.
But what good came of it at last?—
Quoth little Peterkin.
Why that I cannot tell, said he,
But 'twas a famous victory.
A bloody battle was fought near the village of Blenheim in Bavaria (Germany) near on August 13, 1704. The French and Bavarians were defeated by English and Austrian men under the Duke of Marlborough and Prince Eugene.
The battle was a major setback for the French king, Louis XIV. It put a stop to his ambitious plans.
Marlborough returned to England, and a grateful monarch (Queen Anne) and nation provided funds for him to build a magnificent mansion. It is named Blenheim Palace--one of England's most popular destinations for tourists!

I recite this poem in the study that my ancestor Robert Southey used to do all his writing after moving to Keswick in the Lake District in 1803 and living there till his death in 1843. He was Poet Laureate of England for the last 30 years of this time. It was a really special moment to be able to do these videos.

Robert Southey 1774- 1843
Along with Samuel Taylor Coleridge and William Wordsworth, Robert Southey was one of the Lake Poets. They are so called because they lived around the Lake District in England, a bucolic area in which they associated in the early nineteenth century.
Robert Southey was born August 12, 1774 in Bristol and was educated at Westminster School, London. He was expelled from school for writing an article that condemned flogging. Later in life he became conservative and advocated harsh penalties for like liberal positions. Because of his conversion, he was dogged by Byron and Hazlitt. William Hazlitt said of Southey: " He wooed Liberty as a youthful lover, but it was perhaps more as a mistress than a bride; and he has since wedded with an elderly and not very reputable lady, called legitimacy." Lord Byron derided Southey for his odes to the king which he saw as obsequious.
In his youth Southey had planned with Coleridge to establish an egalitarian community, however they never fulfilled their project.
Southey was a writer and scholar and completed biographies of Cromwell, and Nelson among others. He wrote the children's classic The Story of the Three Bears first published in 1834.
Robert Southey died March 21, 1843 in Cumberland after a long physical and mental decline.

from Wiki: an English poet of the Romantic school, one of the so-called "Lake Poets", and Poet Laureate for 30 years from 1813 to his death in 1843. Although his fame has been long eclipsed by that of his contemporaries and friends William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Southey's verse still enjoys some popularity.
Moreover, Southey was a prolific letter writer, literary scholar, essay writer, historian and biographer. His biographies include the life and works of John Bunyan, John Wesley, William Cowper, Oliver Cromwell and Horatio Nelson. The last has rarely been out of print since its publication in 1813 and was adapted for the screen in the 1926 British film, Nelson. He was also a renowned Portuguese and Spanish scholar, translating a number of works of those two countries into English and writing both a History of Brazil (part of his planned History of Portugal which was never completed) and a History of the Peninsular War. Perhaps his most enduring contribution to literary history is the children's classic The Story of the Three Bears, the original Goldilocks story, which first saw print in Southey's prose collection The Doctor.

Stafford Parker (David Farrar) is a self appointed peace-keeper in Hopetown, nearest settlement to the diamond fields. It is 1870, and when news spreads of a big find Stafford Parker hurries off to see the old chief, in whose land the find was made. Stafford asks the old chief (Norris Smith) to grant him the concession to work the new diamond fields as the sole agent. Whilst they are talking, the old man's nephew arrives with a counter proposal from his employer, the unscrupulous rum-dealer and illicit diamond buyer, Muller (Niall McGinnis). Stafford gets the concession but has to convince Muller to accept his authority in a fist fight. Muller appears to agree to Stafford registering the claims and administering the town, however he continues to plot and scheme. When Stafford finds a big diamond on his own claim he gives it to Mr. Pinto (Bill Owen) to cut as a gift for Dora Bracken (Diana Dors) who helps her mother run the local hotel. Stafford then meets Salvation Army lassie Mary Hart (Honor Blackman) who together with her father (Mervyn Johns) is planning to civilize the hard drinking and hard living community. Whilst Stafford is bemused by their naivety, his is impressed by Mary's beauty. Meanwhile David Raymond (Andrew Crawford) a young, handsome digger and Stafford's best friend is also taken by Miss Hart's charm and beauty and very soon falls in love with her. Their romance is disturbed by a lynch mob hanging an illicit diamond buyer. Meanwhile Dora is leading the chorus in the town theatre, but her heart is heavy for she has realized that Stafford is smitten by her Salvationist rival. Dora loves him so much that she is prepared to relinquish him to the other woman if that will make him happy. Dora meets Stafford in his office to return his diamond when they are interrupted by a deputation of townsmen who want to form a Diggers' Republic. Muller has now organized his own small army to take control of the town but is repelled vigorously by Stafford and the Diggers. Unfortunately young David is wounded but a few days later the infant Republic is formally handed over to the British who soon restore law and order. With David wounded, Mary realizes that it is he that she truly loves and advises Stafford accordingly. Therefore Parker packs his wagon determined to leave the past behind him and satisfy his desire for more adventure. As he is about to leave Dora runs to join him; he then realizes that they will never be parted.

Famous quotes by Robert Southey:
"Order is the sanity of the mind, the health of the body, the peace of the city, the security of the state. Like beams in a house or bones to a body, so is order to all things."
"The three indispensable of genius are: understanding, feeling, and perseverance; the three things that enrich genius are: contentment of mind, the cherishing of good thoughts, and the exercise of memory"
"Never let a man imagine that he can pursue a good end by evil means, without sinning against his own soul. The evil effect on himself is certain."
"A kitten is in the animal world what a rosebud is in the garden."
"What will not woman, gentle woman dare; when strong affection stirs her spirit up?"
"Love is indestructible. It's holy flame forever burneth; from Heaven it came, to Heaven returneth."
"All deception in the course of life is indeed nothing else but a lie reduced to practice, and falsehood passing from words into things."
"No distance of place or lapse of time can lessen the friendship of those who are thoroughly persuaded of each other's worth."
"There is a magic in that little world, home; it is a mystic circle that surrounds comforts and virtues never known beyond its hallowed limits"
"The loss of a friend is like that of a limb; time may heal the anguish of the wound, but the loss cannot be repaired."
"If you would be pungent, be brief; for it is with words as with sunbeams - the more they are condensed, the deeper they burn."
"Not where I breathe, but where I love, I live; Not where I love, but where I am, I die."
"Affliction is not sent in vain, young man, from that good God, who chastens whom he loves."
"Live as long as you may, the first twenty years are the longest half of your life."
"It has been more wittily than charitably said that hell is paved with good intentions; they have their place in heaven also."
"To a resolute mind, wishing to do is the first step toward doing. But if we do not wish to do a thing it becomes impossible."
"How little do they see what is, who frame their hasty judgments upon that which seems."
"They sin who tell us Love can die: with Life all other passions fly, all others are but vanity."

"The Battle of Blennheim" -- poem by Robert Southey (1774-1843)
THE BATTLE OF BLENHEIM by Robert Southey (1774-1843) It was a summer evening, Old Kaspar's work was done; And he before his cottage door Was sitting in the sun, And by him sported on the green His little grandchild Wilhelmine. She saw her brother Peterkin Roll something large and round, That he beside the rivulet In playing there had found; He came to ask what he had found, That was so large, and smooth, and round. Old Kaspar took it from the boy Who stood expectant by; And then the old man shook his head, And with a natural sigh, 'Tis some poor fellow's scull, said he, Who fell in the great victory. I find them in the garden, for There's many here about, And often when I go to plough, The ploughshare turns them out; For many thousand men, said he, Were ... -

Robert Southey To Contemplation
Robert Southey 1774- 1843 Along with Samuel Taylor Coleridge and William Wordsworth, Robert Southey was one of the Lake Poets.

Robert Southey was born August 12, 1774 in Bristol and was educated at Westminster School, London. He was expelled from school for writing an article that condemned flogging. Later in life he became conservative and advocated harsh penalties for like liberal positions. Because of his conversion, he was dogged by Byron and Hazlitt. William Hazlitt said of Southey: " He wooed Liberty as a youthful lover, but it was perhaps more as a mistress than a bride; and he has since wedded with an elderly and not very... -

THE BATTLE OF BLENHEIM by Robert Southey (1774-1843)
It was a summer evening,
Old Kaspar's work was done;
And he before his cottage door
Was sitting in the sun,
And by him sported on the green
His little grandchild Wilhelmine.
She saw her brother Peterkin
Roll something large and round,
That he beside the rivulet
In playing there had found;
He came to ask what he had found,
That was so large, and smooth, and round.
Old Kaspar took it from the boy
Who stood expectant by;
And then the old man shook his head,
And with a natural sigh,
'Tis some poor fellow's scull, said he,
Who fell in the great victory.
I find them in the garden, for
There's many here about,
And often when I go to plough,
The ploughshare turns them out;
For many thousand men, said he,
Were slain in the great victory.
Now tell us what 'twas all about,
Young Peterkin he cries,
And little Wilhelmine looks up
With wonder-waiting eyes;
Now tell us all about the war,
And what they kill'd each other for.
It was the English, Kaspar cried,
That put the French to rout;
But what they kill'd each other for,
I could not well make out.
But every body said, quoth he,
That 'twas a famous victory.
My father lived at Blenheim then,
Yon little stream hard by,
They burnt his dwelling to the ground
And he was forced to fly;
So with his wife and child he fled,
Nor had he where to rest his head.
With fire and sword the country round
Was wasted far and wide,
And many a childing mother then,
And new-born infant died.
But things like that, you know, must be
At every famous victory.
They say it was a shocking sight
After the field was won,
For many thousand bodies here
Lay rotting in the sun;
But things like that you know must be
After a famous victory.
Great praise the Duke of Marlbro' won,
And our good Prince Eugene.—
Why 'twas a very wicked thing!
Said little Wilhelmine.
Nay—nay—my little girl, quoth he,
It was a famous victory.
And every body praised the Duke
Who such a fight did win.
But what good came of it at last?—
Quoth little Peterkin.
Why that I cannot tell, said he,
But 'twas a famous victory.
A bloody battle was fought near the village of Blenheim in Bavaria (Germany) near on August 13, 1704. The French and Bavarians were defeated by English and Austrian men under the Duke of Marlborough and Prince Eugene.
The battle was a major setback for the French king, Louis XIV. It put a stop to his ambitious plans.
Marlborough returned to England, and a grateful monarch (Queen Anne) and nation provided funds for him to build a magnificent mansion. It is named Blenheim Palace--one of England's most popular destinations for tourists!

Robert Southey 1774- 1843
Along with Samuel Taylor Coleridge and William Wordsworth, Robert Southey was one of the Lake Poets. They are so called because they lived around the Lake District in England, a bucolic area in which they associated in the early nineteenth century.
Robert Southey was born August 12, 1774 in Bristol and was educated at Westminster School, London. He was expelled from school for writing an article that condemned flogging. Later in life he became conservative and advocated harsh penalties for like liberal positions. Because of his conversion, he was dogged by Byron and Hazlitt. William Hazlitt said of Southey: " He wooed Liberty as a youthful lover, but it was perhaps more as a mistress than a bride; and he has since wedded with an elderly and not very reputable lady, called legitimacy." Lord Byron derided Southey for his odes to the king which he saw as obsequious.
In his youth Southey had planned with Coleridge to establish an egalitarian community, however they never fulfilled their project.
Southey was a writer and scholar and completed biographies of Cromwell, and Nelson among others. He wrote the children's classic The Story of the Three Bears first published in 1834.
Robert Southey died March 21, 1843 in Cumberland after a long physical and mental decline.

from Wiki: an English poet of the Romantic school, one of the so-called "Lake Poets", and Poet Laureate for 30 years from 1813 to his death in 1843. Although his fame has been long eclipsed by that of his contemporaries and friends William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Southey's verse still enjoys some popularity.
Moreover, Southey was a prolific letter writer, literary scholar, essay writer, historian and biographer. His biographies include the life and works of John Bunyan, John Wesley, William Cowper, Oliver Cromwell and Horatio Nelson. The last has rarely been out of print since its publication in 1813 and was adapted for the screen in the 1926 British film, Nelson. He was also a renowned Portuguese and Spanish scholar, translating a number of works of those two countries into English and writing both a History of Brazil (part of his planned History of Portugal which was never completed) and a History of the Peninsular War. Perhaps his most enduring contribution to literary history is the children's classic The Story of the Three Bears, the original Goldilocks story, which first saw print in Southey's prose collection The Doctor.

You were to my mind the almost perfect man.
You devoured my personality,

And the strength of a high-souled fealty.
And all my hopes for the world,
And all my beliefs in Truth,
Were smelted up in the blinding heat
Of my devotion to you,
And molded into your image.
And the when I found what you were:
That your soul was small
And your words were false
As your blue-white porcelain teeth,
And your cuffs of celluloid,
I hated the love I had for you,
I hated myself, I hated you
For my wasted soul, and wasted youth.
And I say to all, beware of ideals,
Beware of giving your love away
To any man alive."

That your soul was small
And your words were false
As your blue-white porcelain teeth,
And your cuffs of celluloid,
I hated the love I had for you,
I hated myself, I hated you
For my wasted soul, and wasted youth.
And I say to all, beware of ideals,
Beware of giving your love away
To any man alive."
