Love Spells no Bounds
11 January 2006

What would love be, if love was to live
and spell why. - Then just to be alive
was to live - hope for love
then some day known to die

Then what was humour without you (1)
it was a faster way to spell a word
void of one letter of doubt
This wonder of momentum
to what life was all to be about

Words are words, love was love
To live was being alive
So where was it that, the Queen's English
was taken upon the Mayflower the day
at Plymouth Rock those Pilgrims did arrive

1) In US English, humour is spelled as “humor”

Research shows there are no contemporary references to the Pilgrims’ landing on a rock
at Plymouth, Massachusetts, USA. There are however two primary sources written by the
Pilgrims themselves describing the actual waterfront landing in Plymouth, Massachusetts, in
1620, William Bradford’s journal “Of Plymouth Plantation” and the 1622 book popularly known
as “Mourt’s Relation”. Both simply say that the Pilgrims landed. Neither mentions any rocks
in their account of the landing.

The first references to Plymouth Rock are found over 100 years after the actual
landing. ‘Plymouth Rock’ appears “in print” for the first time in 1775 and was reported
in the Pennsylvania Journal of 29 November 1775.

The rock representing the 'Plymouth Rock' was moved several times and for the last time
during the celebration of Plymouth's tercentenary in 1921 to a new canopy designed by
famed architects McKim, Mead and White and built by Roy B. Beattie of Fall River,
Massachusetts. The Plymouth Rock, inscribed with the numbers 1620 carved onto its face,
though a bit battered by time (and only part of the original rock), remains a powerful tribute
to the courage of the 102 Mayflower passengers who founded the land we know as New
England (the New England states of USA), when they arrived from Plymouth, England at
the location of their permanent settlement in Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1620.

"Words are words, love was love
