"Dublin was a city of extreme poverty and extreme wealth...I reckon the posh wealth folk were not adverse to a bit of swapping back then"
Why not the poor people? |

Your a pompous git who thinks he's higher class but in reality is just a lonely jealous guy at home crying into his cornflakes everymorning, who then goes online to try to put on a brave persona to make up for all his failings in life? |

Sorry Knitter, id not associate the poem Birches with swinging. My take on the poem is about a young boy swinging from branches of a birch tree to reach heaven and forget reality for a while. but as a man he knows he cant, as responsibility and committments as an adult keep him on the ground preventing him from swinging.Robert Frost compared people to wildlife and nature in his poetry. |

Swinging is not a modern idea...
18th century
It has been claimed that two related 18th-century messianic Jewish sects—the Frankists, followers of Jacob Frank, and the Dönmeh, followers of Shabbetai Zvi—held an annual springtime Lamb Festival, which consisted of a celebratory dinner that included a ritualized exchange of spouses.
Did it happen in Ireland during 1916??...
No idea.... |
