1984

1984

Curious book, ... Winston. A favourite of literature teachers, before 1984. I read it in the 70s. It was claimed that 1984 was already here. One thing that struck me about it, if they were pumping out and refining their propaganda, who was their audience if everyone was being repressed? You pretend to work, we'll pretend to pay you. I sold you, you sold me, under the Chestnut Tree cafe. Oranges and lemons say the bells of St. Clemens. Big Brother. 1984.

Change and Decay

Change and Decay

Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day
Earth’s joys grow dim, its glories pass away
Change and decay in all around I see
O thou who changest not, abide with me

Thou on my head in early youth didst smile
And, though rebellious and perverse meanwhile,
Thou hast not left me, oft as I left thee
