Paul Revere’s Ride​

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow - 1807-1882

Listen, my children, and you shall hear
Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere,
On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-Five:
Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous day and year.
He said to his friend, “If the British march
By land or sea from the town to-night,
Hang a lantern aloft in the belfry-arch
Of the North-Church-tower, as a signal-light,—
One if by land, and two if by sea;
And I on the opposite shore will be,
Ready to ride and spread the alarm
Through every Middlesex village and farm,
For the country-folk to be up and to arm.”
Then he said “Good night!” and with muffled oar
Silently rowed to the Charlestown shore,
Just as the moon rose over the bay,
Where swinging wide at her moorings lay
The Somerset, British man-of-war:
A phantom ship, with each mast and spar
Across the moon, like a prison-bar,
And a huge black hulk, that was magnified
By its own reflection in the tide.
Meanwhile, his friend, through alley and street
Wanders and watches with eager ears,
Till in the silence around him he hears
The muster of men at the barrack door,
The sound of arms, and the tramp of feet,
And the measured tread of the grenadiers
Marching down to their boats on the shore.
Then he climbed to the tower of the church,
Up the wooden stairs, with stealthy tread,
To the belfry-chamber overhead,
And startled the pigeons from their perch
On the sombre rafters, that round him made
Masses and moving shapes of shade,—
By the trembling ladder, steep and tall,
To the highest window in the wall,
Where he paused to listen and look down
A moment on the roofs of the town,
And the moonlight flowing over all.
Beneath, in the churchyard, lay the dead,
In their night-encampment on the hill,
Wrapped in silence so deep and still
That he could hear, like a sentinel’s tread,
The watchful night-wind, as it went
Creeping along from tent to tent,
And seeming to whisper, “All is well!”
A moment only he feels the spell
Of the place and the hour, and the secret dread
Of the lonely belfry and the dead;
For suddenly all his thoughts are bent
On a shadowy something far away,
Where the river widens to meet the bay,—
A line of black, that bends and floats
On the rising tide, like a bridge of boats.
Meanwhile, impatient to mount and ride,
Booted and spurred, with a heavy stride,
On the opposite shore walked Paul Revere.
Now he patted his horse’s side,
Now gazed on the landscape far and near,
Then impetuous stamped the earth,
And turned and tightened his saddle-girth;
But mostly he watched with eager search
The belfry-tower of the old North Church,
As it rose above the graves on the hill,
Lonely and spectral and sombre and still.
And lo! as he looks, on the belfry’s height,
A glimmer, and then a gleam of light!
He springs to the saddle, the bridle he turns,
But lingers and gazes, till full on his sight
A second lamp in the belfry burns!
A hurry of hoofs in a village-street,
A shape in the moonlight, a bulk in the dark,
And beneath from the pebbles, in passing, a spark
Struck out by a steed that flies fearless and fleet:
That was all! And yet, through the gloom and the light,
The fate of a nation was riding that night;
And the spark struck out by that steed, in his flight,
Kindled the land into flame with its heat.
He has left the village and mounted the steep,
And beneath him, tranquil and broad and deep,
Is the Mystic, meeting the ocean tides;
And under the alders, that skirt its edge,
Now soft on the sand, now loud on the ledge,
Is heard the tramp of his steed as he rides.
It was twelve by the village clock
When he crossed the bridge into Medford town.
He heard the crowing of the cock,
And the barking of the farmer’s dog,
And felt the damp of the river-fog,
That rises when the sun goes down.
It was one by the village clock,
When he galloped into Lexington.
He saw the gilded weathercock
Swim in the moonlight as he passed,
And the meeting-house windows, blank and bare,
Gaze at him with a spectral glare,
As if they already stood aghast
At the bloody work they would look upon.
It was two by the village clock,
When he came to the bridge in Concord town.
He heard the bleating of the flock,
And the twitter of birds among the trees,
And felt the breath of the morning breeze
Blowing over the meadows brown.
And one was safe and asleep in his bed
Who at the bridge would be first to fall,
Who that day would be lying dead,
Pierced by a British musket-ball.
You know the rest. In the books you have read,
How the British Regulars fired and fled,—
How the farmers gave them ball for ball,
From behind each fence and farmyard-wall,
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.
So through the night rode Paul Revere;
And so through the night went his cry of alarm
To every Middlesex village and farm,—
A cry of defiance, and not of fear,
A voice in the darkness, a knock at the door,
And a word that shall echo forevermore!
For, borne on the night-wind of the Past,
Through all our history, to the last,
In the hour of darkness and peril and need,
The people will waken and listen to hear
The hurrying hoof-beats of that steed,
And the midnight message of Paul Revere.

Biden is stunned from the asshole both ways. Now not only will he continue to pay for the EU's defense, even tho they have 400 M plus citizens and the 3rd largest economy on earth. Now he will supply oil out of America's Strategic Stockpile.

Hate these bastards who always want to commit US men and women to endless wars. Not even legal wars of Self Defense like WW2. Just wars to make the Elite Trash rich. Pay attention on Veteran's Day, to all the wounded Veteran's, the broken men, missing body parts, broken in mind and spirit. Yah I hate the Elite Trash Bastards for this and always will.

Coons is the sorry POS that let Pedo Biden slobber all over his daughter while he smiled like a mule eating saw briars. Fuck him.

It says so much about a man that would let that happen to his own daughter in his quest for power. In my mind, he is not worthy of being a man, a father, or a US Senator.
Fuckin A Bubba. Even if she were not my daughter I would intercede on her behalf, not her fault her Father is nutless sack of shit. Quick throat punch then lay in with the shoe leather.

My God Yes, Biden is openly sexual assaulting, that little girl in front of a grown adult male. Be fucked if I would stand still for that bullshit my daughter or anybody else's daughter. That little girl does not want that bastard pawing her. No matter who the fuck he is, I have to sleep at night even if it is in a jail cell for kicking a perverts ass.

Interesting take from a billionaire.

Yes very cool. Big Thoughts. It is not going away either, most of the 3rd world citizens have absolutely no access to banks or bank accounts they use crypto. The Masters and OverLords are terrified because we become our own banks. Read up on Defi, you become your own mortgage broker and banker. You will really not need a bank soon. It will be peer to peer transactions.

I have been researching and playing a bit very small, I am learning. Here is the catch I see, no they can't crack the encryption, but they nail you when you bring the crypto from cyber space to an onshore national account and try to convert to dollars. Have not figured a legal way around this road block.

We Southern boys have so many sayings that we heard from our grandparents, family, neighbors, and friends. What a time to be alive.
Life was simple and to the point with no gray areas.
Feed store I used to go to in Arkansas for chicken feed and horse feed etc. Was owned by an old Southern Gentleman, with a great sense of humor, if he was around the store and feeling ok, I would try and get him going.
Somehow he got on the subject of Yankees, some northern city folk had been in the store or something.
He says yah know until I left home to join the army, I never heard them called nothing else but "Damned Yankees" I just did not know better. I choked on my soda and the two old married women behind the counter snorted and chuckled.
