  • Shire Lad in "Inside the Whale,"' an Essay He Wrote in 1940.2 He Was Himself
    SHROPSHIRE REVISITED Theodora and Alfred Kroeber, 1959 Our century continues to be much occupied with death, and our creative energies to expend themselves on one aspect or another of death, whether in the waging of war, the invention of implements and devices of war, or in pol- itical and social thinking, or in the plastic arts and literature. Poets are said to speak prophetically. This could mean that, some time before the first World Wiar, their poems had begun to emphasize death over life. Poe, Emily Dickinson, Swinburne, Housman, Kipling, Yeats, and Eliot do indeed use the words death, dead, die, dying, significantly more often than the words life, alive, live, living, and Housman, at the seeming apex of this twentieth- century death-directed interest, is discovered to have employed seventy-one per cent of death words to twenty-nine per cent of life words.1 Since Housman Vrote A Shro shire Lad there has been a world war, and since he published his Last Poems there have been the vertiginous twenties, a depression, and a second World ibr, with their presently complex aftermaths. Reviewing the poetry of the past half-century or so, a style profile, however tentative and incomplete, begins to emerge. We--the English and the Americans--faced what followed on Sarajevo with the bravado and despair of the lads of Housman's balladlike and simple poetry. We volunteered for glory and friendship and death. Never since our immersion in that first world war have values been for us as clear-cut as they were before. It is Housman who gives those lost values their perfect and limited, if astringently negative, voice.

    The Parish Post Number 76 Nov 2016 for Beambridge Clunbury Clunton Coston Cwm Kempton Little Brampton Obley Purslow The Llan & Twitchen Queen’s Birthday Poplar Planted hildren from Clunbury School joined residents C from the village to plant a tree to commemorate the Queen’s 90 th birthday. It was a lovely September afternoon and all enjoyed the walk, the planting and elderflower cordial made by the Nursery children. The tree was a cutting from the Black Poplar Arbor Tree in Aston on Clun, famed for its role as a tree traditionally dressed with flags for Oak Apple Day - a practice dating back to Celtic times. The tradition was revived to remember the marriage between John Marston and Mary Carter in 1786 and continues to this day. Sadly the parent tree was brought down in a storm twenty-one years ago and had to be replaced with a new one. Barbara and Jeremy Freeman have nurtured a cutting (taken by Barbara’s father Cliff Williams) for many years and the resulting tree is now able to survive in open ground. Mr and Mrs Whitehead happily agreed for the tree to be planted on their land near Binks Bridge (a footbridge leading from the Beambridge road to footpaths across the meadows). Also, to mark the year, and in memory of her husband Jerry, Eileen Breach has sponsored a time-capsule which children from the school will help to fill.
