I have added it to the post now. <br /><br />I shall try to find a photo of our local church choir singing the yearly Christmas concert to put up for you. We are certainly not in Royal Albert Hall league, but you may find more conviction.

I think you know, Berte, but for any visitors not so well-versed in English culture, that phrase is from William Blake's poem 'Jerusalem': <br /><br />And did those feet in ancient time<br /> Walk upon England's mountain green?<br />And was the holy Lamb of God<br /> On England's pleasant pastures seen?<br /><br />And leaping to the fourth and last verse:<br /><br />I will not cease from mental fight,<br /> Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand,<br />Till we have built Jerusalem<br /> In England's green and pleasant land.<br /><br />Well, that was another good idea that didn't work out so well, but people keep belting it out at the Royal Albert Hall once a year as if they mean it, full of sound and fury and not one whit of conviction.Philip Amoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11739418522974972567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-22073724689139101082009-12-24T10:47:38.229+00:002009-12-24T10:47:38.229+00:00This is a wonderful read and one of my favorite Gr...This is a wonderful read and one of my favorite Grimes' books.
