John Milton helped me pass School Certificate in 1962 I knew all of `On His Blindness’ then and a sonnet question came up.
When I consider how my light is spent
Ere half my days In this dark world and wide
And that one talent which is death to hide
lodged with me useless. Though my soul more bent
To serve herewith my maker and present
My true account lest he returning chide
Doth god exact day labour light denied?
I fondly ask but patience to prevent
That murmer soon replies `God doth not need
Either mans work or his gifts who best
Bear his mild yoke they serve him best. His state
Is kingly thousands at his bidding speed
And post o’er land and ocean without rest
They also serve who only stand and wait.
I must confess to having a few (alright then several) looks to get it all down here. But it remains one of my favourite school time memories – one of the few scholastic ones.
Smallpox, a highly contagious disease, is unique only to humans. The smallpox virus is caused by two virus variants called Variola major and Variola minor. Variola major is the more deadly form of the virus; it usually has a mortality rte of 20-40 percent of those that are infected with the virus. Variola minor on the other hand is much less severe and only kills 1% of its victims. Neither of the Variola’s are bugs that you want to get. Avoid them at all costs!.-
