This popular poem by American poet, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, was first published in the literary magazine, The Knickerbocker, in 1838. The following year, this poem was collected with several other early Longfellow works and published in a volume titled Voices of the Night. Longfellow revisits the idea of likening poems to psalms as well as other themes from “A Psalm of Life" in subsequent works on several other occasions, including one entitled "The Reaper and the Flowers" which was originally subtitled "A Psalm of Death".

The Review
Dreamhouse Kings Series by Robert Liparulo
BOOK 1 - House of Dark Shadows
BOOK 2 - Watcher in the Woods
BOOK 3 - Gatekeepers
BOOK 4 - Timescape
BOOK 5 - Whirlwind
BOOK 6 - Frenzy

Composer Jonathan Maiocco wrote some beautiful music inspired by Dreamhouse Kings.
Check out his pieces on the soundtrack page of Dreamhouse Kings website. Also check out his instrumental albums on your favorite digital music outlet. He had this to say about the composition below: "I read Book 1 of the series and thought, 'Whoa, I can totally hear the music!' So, with all the horror and suspense of the story in mind, I composed “House of Dark Shadows” as what I though of as the “main theme” of the series."

Written and published in the winter of 1854, "The Charge of the Light Brigade" memorializes the story of the British soldiers who fought in the Battle of Balaclava during the Crimean War. The battle, in which the Russian forces had soundly defeated the British, had just taken place less than two months prior when Tennyson wrote this poem. One survivor of the defeated cavalry regiment, the 11th Hussars, Private Thomas Williams, remarked later in a letter to his parents, “I could see what would be the result of it, and so could all of us; but of course, as we had got the order, it was our duty to obey. I do not wish to boast too much; but I can safely say that there was not a man in the Light Brigade that day but what did his duty to his Queen and Country.”[1] Tennyson later edited the poem and included the new version in a volume of works published in 1855. The revisions were not well received so he restored the text back to its previous iteration for subsequent printings. We have chosen to produce the original and more well-known version of this poem.

We review Season 5 of The Brinkman Adventures in this episode. This season features some of the best acting we've heard so far in the entire run of this great series. We also address some feedback from Keagen, Samuel and Gideon while revisiting Jeremiah's question from a previous episode. We dive into a few tidbits and Roy's newscast incites a couple minutes of discussion about comics of all things!
