The Minstrel Boy by Thomas Moore The Minstrel Boy to the war is gone In the ranks of death you will find him; His father’s sword he hath girded on, And his wild harp slung behind him; “Land of Song!” said the warrior bard, “Though all the world betrays thee, One sword, at least, thy rights shall guard, One faithful harp shall praise thee!” The Minstrel fell! – but the foeman’s chain Could not bring that proud soul under; The harp he loved ne’er spoke again, For he tore its chords asunder; And said, “No chains shall sully thee, Thou soul of love and bravery! Thy songs were made for the pure and free, They shall never sound in slavery!” 91 Unit Two No. 7. Exercise 5. Listen to the text “Sir Christopher Wren” and say if the statements in the Student’s book are true, false or not mentioned in the text. Sir Christopher Wren The English architect Sir Christopher Wren was born in 1632. He introduced the forms of Renaissance design to the vocabulary of English architecture. Among the many buildings he designed in England one is very special and very important. After the London fire of 1666 Wren replanned the whole city, supervised the rebuilding of 51 churches and made a new design for St. Paul’s Cathedral. The plan for London was not used as it was considered impractical, but the churches and the cathedral were built. Wren was engaged with this work for the rest of his life. Wren’s churches are modest structures consisting of a spire and an interior space. Wren usually produced only the general plan, leaving the interior to be decorated by others. St. Paul’s was a different story, for it was to be grand and magnificent. Wren worked on this Baroque-style building for about forty years. His final plan for it was in the form of a Latin cross with a huge dome that rises to 365 feet and is the Cathedral’s crowning glory. The building is decorated with two towers. Within one of them is a peal of 12 bell s and in the other the clock and Great Paul, the largest bell in England. The Cathedral’s west front is decorated with rows of graceful columns and the portico is carved with a piece of sculpture. St. Paul’s represents a wonderful display of craftsmanship – woodcarving, mosaics, ironwork and painting. St. Paul’s has become the spiritual centre of the City of London. It has been the place for important occasions in the nation’s history: the funeral of Sir Winston Churchill, the wedding of the Prince and Princess of Wales. It is also the final resting place for many of the nation’s heroes. жүктеу/скачать 0,65 Mb. Достарыңызбен бөлісу:
