Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The English Tongue: And Other Poems The English Tongue Words that have tumbled and tossed from the Avon and Clyde On to where Indus and Ganges pour down to the tide. Words that have lived, that have felt, that have gathered and grown. Words! Is it nothing that no other people have known Speech of such myriad voices, so full and so free, Song by the fireside and crash of the thunders at sea? Weight of the Teuton upborne by the joy of the Celt, Grace from the halls where the courtiers of Normandy knelt, Easy precision that plays through the laughter of France, Mysteries of dim Irish fairylands thronged in the dance. All of the moods of the world have been caught and been sung, Changed to its substance, the final invincible tongue. Words! They are symbols, perhaps, but the things that we live Keep in their closure; the joys we can take and can give Narrow themselves to our speech, and the life of the race Holds to the scope of the lexicon.
