 Back to the Road
One of the biggest reasons for the decline in traditional Romany culture, aside from forced assimilation and genocide, is the fact that much of Europe no longer has an agricultural economy.
In many countries, Romany people are becoming assimilated into society as unskilled labour where they, having lost their unique culture, lifestyle and language, face a future of being nothing more than industrial canon fodder.
For the Romany Nation this does not mean looking too far back for it was only a generation ago that we lived at the edge of society; as much a part of the forest and the heaths as the birds and the badgers.

 Book review: George Borrow - Lavengro and The Romany Rye
Until about 50 years ago George Borrow was still quite widely read but he seems to be almost unknown today; a pity, I think, for he has an utterly distinctive voice and his books repay the reading.
Their titles are taken from the Romany: "Lavengro" means "wordmaster" and "Rye" means a young gentleman.
I agree with Thomas Seccombe, who writes in his Introduction that, with all their faults, Lavengro and The Romany Rye are very great books.

Eric Partridge notes ‘Romany’ origins for a variety of terms, often when the OED has continued to straddle the fence with its ‘origin unknown’.
As she puts it in the introduction to her second edition (1993) the ‘coming of Gypsies into fifteenth century Europe, which coincided with the emergence of a specific argot amongst the organised dangerous classes, had not been without influence on the latter phenomenon.
English terminology is relatively insignificant; her primary slang terms are French, then follows the putative Romani root, and then the variations offered by up to ten different national slangs or cants.

This is hokkani boro, old when the pyramids were new, and still good for taking off modest scores, although it has landed more than one Romany chi in the staripen (pokey to you) and in frontier days in Tennessee, got one old gypsy woman burned at the stake for pulling this trick.

"Surely," said I, "you are not mad enough to fling that bottle through the window?" "Here's to the Romany Rye; here's to the sweet master," said the jockey, dashing the bottle through the pane in so neat a manner that scarcely a particle of glass fell into the room.
The crash was horrid, and wine and particles of glass flew back into the room, to the no small danger of its inmates.

There has long been a tradition in the parish that the church at "M" visited by Borrow and the Petulengroes in Chapter VIII of "The Romany Rye" was Bushbury Church, and that "Mumpers Dingle" where they were encamped was near Willenhall.
In the Methuen edition of 1903 edited by John Sampson, Shaw's picture of Bushbury church was reproduced as a frontispiece, and Charles Masefield in his Staffordshire of 1910 (page 97) repeats the story.
Regretfully therefore I must conclude that the tradition of George Borrow at Bushbury can no longer be accepted.

Hence it would have been but reasonable to look, if anywhere, for the expression of Arnold's Greek temper in a poem which sets out to describe the feelings of the student who, according to Glanville's See also:
