Collection B 30 Charging an army, while All the world wonder’d: Plunged in the battery smoke Right thro’ the line they broke; Cossack and Russian 35 Reel’d from the sabre-stroke Shatter’d and sunder’d Then they rode back, but not Not the six hundred. Cannon to right of them, 40 Cannon to left of them, Cannon behind them Volley’d and thunder’d; Storm’d at with shot and shell, While horse and hero fell, 45 They that had fought so well Came thro’ the jaws of Death, Back from the mouth of Hell, All that was left of them, Left of six hundred. 50 When can their glory fade? O the wild charge they made! All the world wonder’d. Honour the charge they made! Honour the Light Brigade, 55 Noble six hundred! Alfred, Lord Tennyson 33
Catrin I can remember you, child, As I stood in a hot, white Room at the window watching The people and cars taking 5 Turn at the traffic lights. I can remember you, our first Fierce confrontation, the tight Red rope of love which we both Fought over. It was a square 10 Environmental blank, disinfected Of paintings or toys. I wrote All over the walls with my Words, coloured the clean squares With the wild, tender circles 15 Of our struggle to become Separate. We want, we shouted, To be two, to be ourselves. Neither won nor lost the struggle In the glass tank clouded with feelings 20 Which changed us both. Still I am fighting You off, as you stand there With your straight, strong, long Brown hair and your rosy, Defiant glare, bringing up 25 From the heart’s pool that old rope, Tightening about my life, Trailing love and conflict, As you ask may you skate In the dark, for one more hour. Gillian Clarke 34
