Excerpt from The Five Nations
Before a midnight breaks in storm,
Or herded sea in wrath,
Ye know what wavering gusts inform
The greater tempest's path;
Till the loosed wind
Drive all from mind,
Except Distress, which, so will prophets cry,
O'ercame them, houseless, from the unhinting sky.
Ere rivers league against the land
In piratry of food,
Ye know what waters slip and stand
Where seldom water stood.
Yet who will note,
Till fields afloat,
And washen carcass and the returning well,
Trumpet what these poor heralds strove to tell?
Ye know who use the Crystal Ball
(To peer by stealth on Doom),
The Shade that, shaping first of all,
Prepares an empty room.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book of national anthems echoes a historical moment that saw the rise and fall of empires, and the powerful emotions that such major shifts of power invoked and amplified. The author weaves these anthems into a broader context of geopolitics to reveal their essential character as national rallying cries and expressions of group identity. Through a deep reading of the words of the anthems themselves, as well as the political and cultural circumstances that produced them, the author also examines the thematic depth of nationhood, imperialism, race, and the complexities of national pride. This book's insights into the poetic devices that express national character, and its profound reflection on the myriad ways in which people form and give voice to their national identities, establishes it as an essential read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of national narratives. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781330914618_0
