Research & Riting

May 8, 2008 in History | by becktan | 1 comment

When I told Daryl that I was thinking of writing a history essay earlier this year, he called me crazy.

I haven’t gotten round to it yet, but am going to start doing research on the person of General Arthur Percival. I distinctly remember a History textbook (In Sec 2, I think) comparing Yamashita, known as the “tiger” and Percival, known as the “rabbit”. I’ve always wondered if Percival was simply misrepresented by history.

I think I’ll go and find out. :)

Hello National Library, here I come! :)

This fellow's wise enough to play the fool,
And to do that well craves a kind of wit.
He must observe their mood on whom he jests,
The quality of persons, and the time,
And, like the haggard, check at every feather
That comes before his eyes. This is a practice
As full of labour as a wise man's art.
For folly that he wisely shows is fit;
But wise men, folly-fall'n, quite taint their wit.
