The sense of enthusiasm that has been apparent at my public meetings has been unmatched in my experience since that time.” — News. In Memory Lane we stray, Sir, Rob. and You, and I. Dreaming as Old Folks may, Sir, Of happier Days gone by. Hand in Hand we wander, You. and I. and He. Over the Past we ponder. And What we like, we see. Give him a loving Arm, Sir. And put your Hand in Mine — Speak of the Old World Charm. Sir, Of Nineteen Forty-nine. Remember doughty Sid. Sir. And the famous Fight he won — Tell us the Things he did. Sir! And can They still be done? Memory Lane has Roses — And Odours not so sweet. None of. our sensitive Noses Is pleased with All we meet. Hollandia Senex may bloom there, Delightful to the Eye. — Rob. he's looking for Room there For Lilium Muldoonii. Twenty-five Years ago. Sir. Or three short Months ahead — How Little we really know. Sir. The Ways we trod, or tread. One End of Memory Lane. Sir. Is the Bend we don’t remember. And the Other is — ask Me again. Sir If you have to! next November.
