For which you have my full respect and admiration especially because I know jack diddly-squat about Australian history! OK maybe a very little bit about the settlement of New South Wales, but nothing I didn't learn from a documentary in the History Channel.

I've been thinking about that poem overall. The first two stanzas that they leave out are very pastoral - like Ros choosing the church in the country for her funeral. Its this stanza that got me. It is kind of what 9.1 is about and what is supposed to a theme of S9:

Blest! who can unconcern'dly find
Hours, days, and years slide soft away,
In health of body, peace of mind,
Quiet by day,

Its a good transition.
