I think many of these poems need more time to sit with me for me to fully grasp all they have to say; and to digest a lot of the phrases and moods Smith weaves through-out his work. But one thing is clear--he speaks with a great love of the old and timeless things. I read somewhere that, if that had happened, he would have surpassed Tolkien in fame but that's something we'll never know. All we have left are these beautiful poems and a great "what if?".Memralife Group Financial Statements (to 30 November 2011)". {{ cite journal}}: Cite journal requires |journal= ( help) Last Poems are Smith's heartbreaking war poems. “Let Us Tell Quiet Stories of Kind Eyes” is a lament for the lost time when a group of four boys who met at King Edward’s School and for the tragic death of one in 1916 (Gilson, aged 23, during the Battle of the Somme.)

Certain spinach varieties, especially the hardier types, can be sown in late summer or early autumn for a spring crop. Spring Cabbage Typically, these plants won’t be harvested in the winter unless you live somewhere with a very mild climate or a cold-frame that works well at keeping your plants warm. Most will be collected in the early spring, around March or April. Hardy lettuces can be sown outdoors in early autumn in mild gardens and will stand the winter with protection, hearting up in mid-spring. Alternatively, sow in a heated propagator in late winter for growing on in an unheated glasshouse or cloche and planting out in early spring for crops a few weeks laterCalabrese is relatively fast growing.
