Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The British Academy the Tercentenary of Milton´s Birth: Inaugural Meeting at the Theatre, Burlington Gardens Tuesday, December 8, 1908 (the Eve of the Tercentenary) What splendour of imperial station man, The Tree of Life, may reach when, rooted fast, His branching stem points way to upper air And skyward still aspires, we see in him Who sang for us the Archangelical host Made Morning by old Darkness urged to the abyss; A voice that down three centuries onward rolls; Onward will roll while lives our English tongue, In the devout of music unsurpassed Since Piety won Heaven´s ear on Israels harp. The face of Earth, the soul of Earth, her charm, Her dread austerity; the quavering fate Of mortals with blind hope by passion swayed, His mind embraced, the while on trodden soil, Defender of the Commonwealth, he joined Our temporal fray, whereof is vital fruit, And choosing armoury of the Scholar, stood Beside his peers to raise the voice for Freedom: Nor has fair Liberty a champion armed To meet on heights or plains the Sophister Throughout the ages, equal to this man, Whose spirit breathed high Heaven, and drew thence The ethereal sword to smite. Were England sunk Beneath the shifting tides, her heart, her brain, The smile she wears, the faith she holds, her best.
