“He who does not speak foreign languages
knows nothing about his own.“

— Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

We start National Poetry Month in the United States and Canada every year with an inquiry into changes in the (meaning of) definitions at the foundation of best practice literature; frequently the subject of sporty debate among experts writing codes and standards for the built environment of education communities.

In the United Kingdom, National Poetry Month is celebrated in October, and it is known as “National Poetry Day” which has been observed since 1994. It is an initiative of the Forward Arts Foundation, which aims to encourage people to read, write and perform poetry.

Other countries also have their own poetry celebrations, such as World Poetry Day, which is observed annually on March 21 by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) to promote the reading, writing, and teaching of poetry worldwide.

We use a Tamil mnemonic because Tamil is the oldest surviving language and remains the spoken language of 80-odd million people of South Asia.

Today we explain our collaboration with other education settlements in the US and other nations.  We conform to participation requirements set by ANSI US Technical Advisory Groups to the International Organization for Standardization but we also have liaison with other universities in the European Union who conform to the participation requirements of their own national standards bodies.

“Daily Growing” (Traditional) | Altan

Altan is a traditional Irish band known for their renditions of folk songs, so it’s not uncommon for them to have their own interpretation of traditional tunes.

In the case of this version, where an older woman is married off to a much younger man by her father, it still falls within the broader tradition of folk music storytelling. Many folk songs feature themes of love, relationships, and familial dynamics, and this variation of “Daily Growing” explores the dynamics of age differences in marriage, which is not uncommon in traditional music.

While the exact origin of Altan’s version of the song may be difficult to trace, it likely draws from the broader tradition of Irish and Scottish folk music, where such themes are common. The song might have been passed down through generations via oral tradition before being recorded by Altan or adapted from other sources within the folk music canon.
