Woke.
I want to live in the Shire.
In thy face I see the map of honour, truth and loyalty.

William H Hartley’s story inspired the Titanic’s band’s legend. One survivor reported seeing him standing heroically with his fellow musicians, clinging to the rails of the Grand Staircase and exclaiming, “Gentlemen I bid you farewell.”

I think our country sinks beneath the yoke; It weeps, it bleeds, and each new day a gash is added to her wounds.

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

We were schooner-rigged and rakish,
with a long and lissome, hull,
And we flew the pretty colors of the crossbones and the skull;
We’d a big black Jolly Roger flapping grimly at the fore,
And we sailed the Spanish Water in the happy days of yore.

The Norse Goddess Freyja is often depicted riding in a chariot pulled by two cats, which are symbols of her power and association with magic.

She wore her yellow sun-bonnet,
She wore her greenest gown;
She turned to the south wind
And curtsied up and down
She turned to the sunlight
And shook her yellow head,
And whispered to her neighbor:
“Winter is dead.”
