3 he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.
4. 4 Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,[a]
I will fear no evil, for you are with me;
your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

9. “Mary had a little lamb,
Its fleece was white as snow.
And everywhere that Mary went,

To see a lamb at school.”
10. Emmeline Pankhurst
Freedom or Death 1913
You have left it to women in your land, the men
of all civilised countries have left it to women,
to work out their own salvation. That is the way
in which we women of England are doing.
Human life for us is sacred, but we say if any
life is to be sacrificed it shall be ours; we won’t
do it ourselves, but we will put the enemy in
the position where they will have to choose
between giving us freedom or giving us death.
11. Sir Winston Churchill, 1941
Never give in - never, never, never,
never, in nothing great or small, large
or petty, never give in except to
convictions of honour and good
sense. Never yield to force; never
yield to the apparently overwhelming
might of the enemy.
12. I have a dream (1963)
by Martin Luther King Jr
I have a dream that one day down in
Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its
governor having his lips dripping with
the words of interposition (place
something between) and nullification –
one day right there in Alabama little
black boys and black girls will be able to
join hands with little white boys and white
girls as sisters and brothers.
13. I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day every
valley shall be exalted and every hill
and mountain shall be made low, the
rough places will be made plain, and
the crooked places will be made
straight, and the glory of the Lord shall
be revealed and all flesh shall see it
together.
14. Funeral Blues
by W.H. Auden
Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy
bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled
drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners
come.
15. Let aeroplanes circle moaning
overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message
“He is Dead”.
Put crepe bows round the white necks
of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black
cotton gloves.
16. He was my North, my South, my East
and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my
song;
I thought that love would last forever: I
was wrong.
