Weekly Short Fact | #17 | The World of Momus Podcast
Every week on Tuesdays, I post an interesting short fact which either I knew about beforehand or found out in the previous week. I hope you find them interesting, and I hope it sparks an interest in you to go and search more relating to that fact yourself.
Listen to the reading of John Keats' poem, 'To one who has been long in city pent' which describes the experience of a city-dweller, who goes on a holiday to the countryside.
To One Who Has Been Long in City Pent - John Keats
To one who has been long in city pent,
'Tis very sweet to look into the fair
And open face of heaven,—to breathe a prayer
Full in the smile of the blue firmament.
Who is more happy, when, with heart's content,
Fatigued he sinks into some pleasant lair
Of wavy grass, and reads a debonair
And gentle tale of love and languishment?
Returning home at evening, with an ear
Catching the notes of Philomel,—an eye
Watching the sailing cloudlet's bright career,
He mourns that day so soon has glided by:
E'en like the passage of an angel's tear
That falls through the clear ether silently.

This is a reading of the poem, The Soldier, by Rupert Brooke (1887 - 1915).
If I should die, think only this of me:
That there’s some corner of a foreign field
That is for ever England. There shall be
In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam,
A body of England’s, breathing English air,
Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.
And think, this heart, all evil shed away,
A pulse in the eternal mind, no less
Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given;
Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;
And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness,
In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.
