"A Post In Haste"


Having just this second heard of a former English teacher's retirement, I compose and offer this as a small remuneration for all I was taught:

Be not so far from me
the yearning heart doth preach -

for the wisdom of the learn-ed ones

stays close to those whom they would teach.


" plurimus humilis gratiae"

So true. A teacher changed my life.

I studied 2 years of Latin in high school, and it benefited me forever! Some said it was just an 'accelerated English course' but it helped me thru life in many ways.
I cherish my old teachers.
Hope you are doing well.

So very, very true and cherished. Where did they all go, those who taught me to seek wisdom?

We Often remember The Teacher More Than The Lessons Themselves????

I remember many of my teachers.
The good and bad.
I remember a Literature teacher in High School and a Physics - High School too but it's called differently here in Brazil.
Fortunately I had many good English teachers.

Teachers are bit like wine, more appreciated with time.
