[edit] Discuss links here

Editors regularly clean out undiscussed links from this article. Please discuss here if you want a link not to be cleaned out regularly. (You can help!)--VS talk 04:34, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

VS talk has removed an external link to a website which I publish containing information on Lesbia Harford. I have not contributed at all to this article, so conflict of interest is not involved. I believe this link is still relevant to the article. To avoid a conflict of interest, I should not post the link to the article myself unless it has been discussed on this page. Other editors are free to post the link if they think it is relevant.

might help some if you could provide a reason for these deletions. i've put it back as it obviously isn't spam  ⇒ bsnowball  09:45, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
No need to shoot the messenger Bsnowball. Link with reasons is provided above at you can help - just following guidelines, and only acting after discussion with another admin.--VS talk 07:08, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Periodicity, Set to Music by Redgum but which album?

Redgum set this poem to music, although they didn't use the first three stanzas. They began "Women.....". Nice tune too. I think this should be mentioned but which album was it? I'm thinking it was Virgin Ground but am not sure. Might have been Brown Rice and Kerosene. Jeremytrewindixon 10:47, 30 September 2007 (UTC)


My friend declares
Being woman and virgin she

Takes small account of periodicity

And she is right;
Her days are calmly spent
For her sex-function is irrelevant.

But I whose life
Is monthly broken in twain
Must seek some sort of meaning in my pain.

Women, I say,
Are beautiful in change,
Remote, immortal, like the moon they range;

Or call my pain
A skirmish in the whole
Tremendous conflict between body and soul.

Meaning must lie
Some beauty surely dwell
In the fierce depths and uttermost pits of hell.

Yet still I seek
Month after month in vain
Meaning and beauty in recurrent pain
