Ballad of the White Horse, Book I: notes on setting

Welcome back. I hope you are rejuvenated not merely from the time off but also by a renewed sense of thankfulness. Perhaps that is asking too much. The week before last, if you can think that far back, we began The Ballad of the White Horse. This week we shall endeavor to finish it. Each day this week we shall discuss a section of the poem. On Monday of next week you will have you exam.

Agenda:

1. Pray
2. Latin Proverb: Destituis ventis remos adhibe.
1. Literally, "When the winds fail, take to the oars." This statement carries with it the idea that we mustn't sit on our hands and simply wait for opportunities; we must act. Colloquially, we might translate it, "Don't just sit there; do something!" 
3. Work on notes for each book of The Ballad of the White Horse
4. Lecture on Book I of Ballad Ballad of the White Horse
5. Review HW:
1. Finish notes on Book I The Ballad
2. Be good.
