“ The heat is bad, the water's bad, the flies a crimson curse, The grub is bad, mosquitoes damned—but rheumatism's worse.I wonder why poor blokes like me will stick so fast ter breath, Though Shakespeare says it is the fear of somethin' after death ”
Henry Lawson

Quotes from Knocked Up (Henry Lawson)
“ For it's trampin', trampin', tra-a-mpin' thro' hell across the plain, And it's trampin' trampin' tra-a-mpin' thro' slush 'n mud 'n rain — A livin' worse than any dog—without a home 'n wife, A-wearin' out yer heart 'n soul in the wastin' of yer life. This work is in the public domain in Australia because it was created in Australia and the term of copyright has expired. ”
