Emma D's diary

At home: and did those feet in ancient time...x

And did those feet in ancient time.
Walk upon Englands mountains green:
And was the holy Lamb of God,
On Englands pleasant pastures seen!

And did the Countenance Divine,
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here,
Among these dark Satanic Mills?

Bring me my Bow of burning gold;
Bring me my Arrows of desire:
Bring me my Spear: O clouds unfold!
Bring me my Chariot of fire!

I will not cease from Mental Fight,
Nor shall my Sword sleep in my hand:
Till we have built Jerusalem,
In Englands green & pleasant Land


I didn't know that William Blake wrote this poem, that ended up in that beautiful and well known hymn. Sometimes, just sometimes its just so apt when I witness a sunset like this....I can see why the Olympic stadium became crafted by Danny Boyle into one of these views...I have even met a few of Boyles workers of industry on my log deliveries today. Little England. X
