Are you familiar with the poem 'Say not the struggle naught availeth' by AH Clough?

Just learned about him. The women in his life were very Interesting according to the wikipedia article on him.

I can't decide if this poem is positive or not.

What do you think?

[Sorry. I can't transfer the poem to DU with the device I'm using. ]

2. Thanks for the interesting link

According reports I found on the internet (maybe the wiipedia article?), Clough was definitely not a Christian.

Also I found that he followed uprisings in France and Rome as well as those of the British Chartists mentioned in your link.

3. I just saw this on "Endeavour." Thought it was beautiful!
