This hill though high I covet to ascend The difficulty will not me offend For I perceive the way to life lies here Come pluck up heart; let's neither faint nor fear Better though difficult the right way to go Than wrong though easy where the end is woe John Bunyan d. #OTD 1688.

This hill though high I covet to ascend
The difficulty will not me offend
For I perceive the way to life lies here
Come pluck up heart; let's neither faint nor fear
Better though difficult the right way to go
Than wrong though easy where the end is woe
John Bunyan d. #OTD 1688.

#OTD (d). 2nd Sept 1973 in memory of JRR Tokien, writer, philologist, author of The Hobbit, LOTR, Fellow of Pembroke College. "All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost".

Another example of stellar journalism at US Open Tennis press conferences. Why do these w&nkers in the press box and commentary box always have posh British accents?
