the charge of the light brigade

having studied this poem two years ago and to then have to study it again in a level, as well as a collection of other masterpieces such as mariana, the lady of shalott, i would like to say this is a moving poem, and shows the evidence of genius as he wrote it within the space of 20 mins. after reading an artical in the paper, i have also heard the actual wax recording whcih sounds so bacabre, but in fact is an amazing experience

The Charge of the Light Brigade

What a great poem! When I read it again, I could not help but think of our troops in Iraq today. "(Is) there a man dismay'd? Not tho' the soldiers [must know!] Some one had blunder'd:
Theirs not to make reply, Theirs not to reason why, Theirs but to do and die..."

Except I think many of our troops must be dismayed!

I pray for our forces in Iraq, I pray they may soon be brought home safely. "They that had fought so well Come thro' the jaws of Death
[come] Back from the mouth of Hell, All that [is] left of them!"
