It references a womans strength in being vulnerable, especially as current times call for us to almost imitate male traits in order to succeed rather than pulling on the traits we as women already possess and using them to our advantage.

Surrender, Silliness! by Jeffery Scism

5

Sibilant songs seldom sell,

Sadly society says "stop" –

So someone submits silly sentiments.

Such syllables slide slickly –

Some sayings sadly slip-

Slowly sinking ships –

Some soar - sailing serenely.

Some seldom seen

Sentences stay silent,

Softly sitting still,

Stubbornly stating

Such simplistic sentiments.

Should society shed syllogisms?

Shall social sloth symbolize slender symmetry?

Some symbols show sentience,

So should stand silently?

Somehow someone, somewhere, says "Silence!"

So sleeps sensibility.

Such sycophancy should surrender,

Since solitude stands sorrowfully single.

Such silliness should suffer surcease!

A sunny autumnal day in Brampton, Cumbria

Brampton is a small market town, civil parish and electoral ward within the City of Carlisle district of Cumbria, England, about 9 miles (14 km) east of Carlisle and 2 miles (3.2 km) south of Hadrian's Wall. Historically part of Cumberland, it is situated off the A69 road which bypasses it. Brampton railway station, on the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway, is about a mile outside the town, near the hamlet of Milton.

St Martin's Church is famous as the only church designed by the Pre-Raphaelite architect Philip Webb, and contains one of the most exquisite sets of stained glass windows designed by Sir Edward Burne-Jones, and executed in the William Morris studio.

The town was founded in the 7th century as an Anglian settlement.

Brampton was granted a Market Charter in 1252 by King Henry III, and became a market town as a result.

During the Jacobite rising of 1745, Charles Edward Stuart stayed in the town for one night, marked by a plaque on the wall of the building (a shoe shop) currently occupying the location; here he received the Mayor of Carlisle who had been summoned to Brampton to surrender the city to the Young Pretender. The Capon Tree Monument, to the south of the town centre, commemorates the 1746 hanging of six Jacobites from the branches of the Capon Tree, Brampton's hitherto traditional trysting place.

In 1817 the Earl of Carlisle built the octagonal Moot Hall, which is in the centre of Brampton and houses the Tourist Information Centre. It replaced a 1648 building which was once used by Oliver Cromwell to house prisoners.

Much of Brampton consists of historic buildings built of the local red sandstone.
