Charlotte Church singing "Jerusalem"

推薦 0 收藏 0 轉貼0 訂閱站台

Sidney 建議我們閱讀伊麗莎白女王的戰前演說時可以收聽 Charlotte Church 唱的 ”Jerusalem”當背景音樂。

大家不妨一試!
(這些英國風景照片也很好看哦!)


既然手閒著,順便幫大家把這首詩 Google 出來。

Jerusalem
William Blake

And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England’s mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
On England’s pleasant pastures seen?
And did the Countenance Divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among these dark Satanic mills?

Bring me my bow of burning gold:
Bring me my arrows of desire:
Bring me my spear: O clouds unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire.

I will not cease from mental fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England’s green and pleasant land.

This song is partially the British National Anthem.

The Same Melody, Sid
I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above,
Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love;
The love that asks no question, the love that stands the test,
That lays upon the altar the dearest and the best;
The love that never falters, the love that pays the price,
The love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice.
And there`s another country, I`ve heard of long ago,
Most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know;
We may not count her armies, we may not see her King;
Her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering;
And soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase,
And her ways are ways of gentleness, and all her paths are peace

The author is Cecil Spring Rice. YV can introduce the author.

Actually...
YV knows nothing about this author.

Why don`t you introduce him?

Sid to YV
Regretfully I did bother you. I hope you can pardon me, with my poor Internet connecting. Pardon me, and they say, &quotWhat are friends for?&quot

Hahaha!! Okay!

But you have to wait, cuz I am reading a bestseller, which I seldom do in the middle of a semester. It is a book which I cannot put down after I started the first page--Matthew Skelton`s Endymion Spring. (Shih! Gutenberg was also trapped inside.)

No Bother
Cecil Spring-Rice might be not very attractive, and he might not be your dish.
Enjoy your reading!
