Description
I took a photo of my 1/18-scale helicopters hanging from the ceiling in my study, then I replaced the background in Photoshop.Inspired by a scene from Black Hawk Down, the following poem comes to mind:
"The Minstrel Boy" - Thomas Moore (1779–1852)
The minstrel boy to the war is gone,
In the ranks of death ye will find him;
His father's sword he hath girded on,
And his wild harp slung behind him;
"Land of Song!" said the warrior bard,
"Tho' all the world betray thee,
One sword, at least, thy rights shall guard,
One faithful harp shall praise thee!"
The Minstrel fell! But the foeman's chain
Could not bring his proud soul under;
The harp he lov'd ne'er spoke again,
For he tore its cords asunder;
And said "No chains shall sully thee,
Thou soul of love and bravery!
Thy songs were made for the pure and free
They shall never sound in slavery!"
