Thu 6 March 2008 - Where’s Clancy now?

Maybe things haven’t changed all that much in the last 119 years.

City, 2008

And in place of lowing cattle, I can hear the fiendish rattle
Of the tramways and the buses making hurry down the street,
And the language uninviting of the gutter children fighting,
Comes fitfully and faintly through the ceaseless tramp of feet.

– from Clancy of the OverflowBanjo Patterson, 1889
