I'm really pleased that the LitNetters have come up with such a variety of historical figures! I'm going to take a few days to mull my decision over, as at the minute I'm torn between three of them - yet again, the competition is very close.
"I should only believe in a God that would know how to dance. And when I saw my devil, I found him serious, thorough, profound, solemn: he was the spirit of gravity- through him all things fall. Not by wrath, but by laughter, do we slay. Come, let us slay the spirit of gravity!" - Nietzsche
Now you see I find I'm judging them on what I think of the historical figure. Must stop doing that!

I voted for the Keats-like Victoria, they all have something good in them though.

Right, decision made - albeit after much rumination. All of these have something to recommend them - but in the end the vivid imagery of 'Mother of War' appealed to my inter antiquarian.

No one seems to have voted for a while. Are we just waiting for someone to break the tie to close the voting?
I'm giving it another week, cause I have things I do to wrap it up to my satisfaction, and I'm too busy to do that this week.

voted.
I voted too, really enjoyed the poem I voted for. It's exceptional.
While the truncheon may be used
in lieu of conversation,
words will always retain their power.
Words offer the means to meaning,
and for those who will listen,
the enunciation of truth.
Hi Qimi. It was a hard choice for me between "Mother of War" and "I never Knew You". I enjoyed them all, and I will return when I have little more time to meditate on them. (I've been working 80+ hrs a week lately)
Thanks for sharing these with me.
For grievous war these arms don't ask,
No armor, save this joyous flask
All incredible!
Thanks for grabbing my ear and pulling me over here qimissung.
I was struggling with three submissions, but the lighter mood of a Friday night coupled with vodka aided my decision process.
Well done to all and thanks for the efforts!
Thanks for voting, guys.

Don't know much about history, but who didn't love Sam Cooke?
Didn't know anything about this contest, till Qimissung asked me about voting.
Had it narrowed down to three and went with the stand-out!
Thanks,
Auntie
