Art explained by a Writer: A Dame's School (1845)
It’s time,’ Mum said,
We can’t go on like this.
We’re outgrowing the house
All these children...
Honestly, I need something for myself,
Harry, I work hard enough.
Dad grumbled.
He wasn’t particularly keen on listening to women’s whingeing.
Both of them were working their fingers to the bone.
The place seemed to get smaller every day,
As long as his chair wasn’t taken,
Once back home,
He didn’t really care.
Sooner or later, it would be...
Solved.
Bedtime!
School?
The children looked shocked.
Mum nodded.
A faint smile played around her lips.
Children aged two to five are welcome.
The paper said.
Far from everyone could write,
Those able to read,
Would spread the word.
Men in pubs,
Women in laundrettes,
Children left on their own...
On the streets of London.
Dame smiled.
No matter how long it takes,
You all learn to read and write,
Will become famous
Writers, poets
Time, confidence, stubbornness, are all you need
And... 4 shillings a year, each.

Your poetic text draws upon fascinating historical references from around the world. A dreamer who is literate wishes to help children learn to understand the world through the written word as well. This speaks to the magic of language—which, once learned, refuses to die in silence. I loved it.
Tu texto poético tiene referentes históricos del mundo muy interesantes. Un soñador que sabe leer y escribir desea ayudar a los niños a que aprendan también a comprender el mundo a través de las letras. Esto responde a la magia de la palabra, que una vez aprendida se niega a morir en el silencio. Me encantó.

As long as their are still dreamers willing to work towards their goal there is hope! A better future, even if this only contains the alteady written words, or the power of words, for all.
That’s right. The mere fact of learning to read, write, and analyze reality is already a step forward.
Así es. El solo hecho de aprender a leer, a escribir y a analizar la realidad es ya un avance.
The painting is amazing, this clever kid's drawing takes me to the world of the past

Imagine these were the first schools for the poor people. And what baffles me most is that they learned how to read, but not how to write. I wonder how many taught this themselves. I mean, if you the letters, wouldn't they feel the need to draw it themselves? I know I would.
Perhaps in those days, learning to write was very expensive, whereas the knowledge that was first arriving was more easily absorbed through listening; consequently, people had to teach themselves to write due to economic constraints—at least, that is how I see it.
In order to vote correctly...
Для того, чтобы правильно голосовать...
Most likely they are not permitted to vote at all
I think it's allowed. Millions of migrants are brought to the countries for the number of votes...
=============
Думаю, что разрешено. Для количества голосов в страны завозят миллионы мигрантов...

The present ones, but back then, women included.
They don't care who votes or how, as long as they get more votes.
Cheers and Thanks!
