Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Sheaves of Empire: Some Attempt to Elucidate the Higher Aspects of Imperialism And as we gather into one, let us recall with pride That we are of the blood of those who fought when Harold died. John Reade. Just think for a moment what it is to have been born an Englishman; think how many millions of men there are in this world to-day who have been born Chinese or Hindus or Kaffirs; but you were not born any of these, you were born an Englishman. - Rhodes. He was more profoundly moved by the beauty of Ely Minster than he would have dreamed it possible... This russet priest was an artist and worshipped beauty: hence he could not look on Ely unmoved. He was an Englishman to the finger-tips: hence he could not stand on ground so alive with heroic traditions and not thrill to the memory of them. - Annie Nathan Meyer (in "Robert Annys, Poor Priest" [1379]). O triune kingdom of the brave, O sea-girt island of the free, O Empire of the land and wave, Our hearts, our hands, are all for thee. John Talon - Lespérance.
