Britain’s canals are undergoing a renaissance. Hewn out of the land during the Industrial Revolution, they were once Britain’s main arteries of trade. The rise of railways and roads made them redundant and many were left to moulder, alongside the old industrial areas of many cities. But, as those grimy zones have been spruced up, so have the 4,800km (3,000 miles) of canals that remain http://econ.st/1Gtw8jS

.......頃讀 Tennyson 詩至 Hands All Round 篇有句云:
That man's the best cosmopolite深喜其緣與吾暗合 故識之
Who loves his native country best
Searching for musical freedom: Defne Sahin
Defne Sahin was born in Berlin to parents from Turkey, putting her squarely

developed into a singer with a cosmopolitan, literate approach to jazz.

| Poem: |
First pledge our queen this solemn night,
then drink to England, every guest; that man’s the best cosmopolite who loves his native country best. May freedom’s oak for ever live with stronger life from day to day; that man’s the true conservative who lops the moulder’d branch away. Hands all round! God the traitor’s hope confound! To this great cause of freedom drink, my friends, and the great name of England, round and round. To all the loyal hearts who long to keep our english empire whole! To all our noble sons, the strong new England of the southern pole! To England under Indian skies, to those dark millions of her realm! To Canada whom we love and prize, whatever statesman hold the helm. Hands all round! God the traitor’s hope confound! To this great name of England drink, my friends, and all her glorious empire, round and round. To all our statesmen so they be true leaders of the land’s desire! To both our houses, may they see beyond the borough and the shire! We sail’d wherever ship could sail, we founded many a mighty state; pray god our greatness may not fail thro’ craven fears of being great. Hands all round! God the traitor’s hope confound! To this great cause of freedom drink my friends, and the great name of England, round and round. |
