What does /lit/ think of the poem The Charge of the Light Brigade by Lord Tennyson?
I love it, people might talk down on it for being a simple rhyming tale with no deeper analysis really available (apart from the fact that it bluntly called out that one of the officers fucked it) but I find a beauty and truthfulness in its stark, plain descriptions and language. >Plunged in the battery smoke, right through the line they broke, Cossack and Russian reeling from the sabre strokeKino
>>24788213Chivalrous. Makes my eyes slightly moist every time I read it aloud, but fills me with anger too, for as usual, the officer corps bungled, and now the ordinary soldiers have to bear the brunt of someone else’s flawed decision making.
>>24788560Their's not to reason why,Their's not to make reply,Their's but to do and die.
When can their glory fade?O the wild charge they made! All the world wondered.Honour the charge they made!Honour the Light Brigade, Noble six hundred!
