I'm glad that you enjoyed Jerusalem, its funny but one poem that always moves me to tears is Thomas Macaulay's 'Horatius at the bridge' which only gets me when I declaim it aloud!

I AM a Royalist for which I make no apology and its probably because of my early education and my historical grounding in the way in which our country rose to power despite the antics of numerous useless kings.

I'm proud to be English (not British) and always correct those that call me the latter. We've just had a morning of watching historical documentaries such as 'Agincourt' amongst others so I'm feeling very patriotic at the moment.
