GEORGES CROSS (ENGLAND) NATIONAL FLAG

England is a country that is part of the United Kingdom.  It shares land borders with Wales to the west and Scotland to the north.

The Irish Sea lies west of England and the Celtic Sea to the southwest.

England is separated from continental Europe by the North Sea to the east and the English Channel to the south.

The country covers five-eighths of the island of Great Britain, which lies in the North Atlantic, and includes over 100 smaller islands,

such as the Isles of Scilly and the Isle of Wight. It is the largest country of the British Isles.

The name "England" is derived from the Old English name Englaland, which means "land of the Angles". 

The Angles were one of the Germanic tribes that settled in Great Britain during the Early Middle Ages.

The Angles came from the Anglia peninsula in the Bay of Kiel area (present-day German state of Schleswig–Holstein) of the Baltic Sea. 

The earliest recorded use of the term, as "Engla londe", is in the late-ninth-century translation into Old English of Bede's Ecclesiastical

History of the English People. The term was then used in a different sense to the modern one, meaning "the land inhabited by the English",

and it included English people in what is now south-east Scotland but was then part of the English kingdom of Northumbria.

And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the holy lamb of god
On England's pleasant pastures seen?

And did the countenance divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among those 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 chariots of fire!

I will not cease from mental fight;
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land.

What a beautiful voice !  what a lovely lady !  What a wonderful anthem !

                                    one of the first copies of Blake's poem, written as a preface to a book on

"And did those feet in ancient time" is a poem by William Blake from the preface to his epic Milton: A Poem in Two Books, one of a collection of writings known as the Prophetic Books. The date of 1804 on the title page is probably when the plates were begun, but the poem was printed c. 1808. Today it is best known as the hymn "Jerusalem", with music written by Sir Hubert Parry in 1916. It is not to be confused with another poem, much longer and larger in scope, but also by Blake, called Jerusalem The Emanation of the Giant Albion.

가사

1916년 휴버트 패리(Sir Hubert Parry) 작곡

1804년 윌리엄 블레이크(William Blake)의 시이다.

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

아득한 옛날 저들의 발길은
잉글랜드의 푸른 산 위를 거닐었는가?
거룩하신 주의 어린양이
잉글랜드의 기쁨의 들판 위에 보였는가!

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

그 성스러운 얼굴이
정녕 우리의 구름낀 언덕에 빛을 비추셨는가?
정말로 예루살렘이 이 땅 위에,
이 어두운 사탄의 맷돌들 사이에 세워졌단 말인가?

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!

금빛으로 불타는 나의 활을 가져오너라
나의 염원을 지닌 화살을 가져오너라
나의 창을 가져오너라, 오 구름이 펼쳐지는구나!
내 불의 전차를 가져오너라!

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

나는 싸움을 멈추지 않을 것이다,
나의 검도 내 손에서 잠들어 있지 않게 하리라
우리가 잉글랜드의 푸르고 즐거운 땅에
예루살렘을 세울 때까지

역사

이 노래는 산업혁명에 반대하는 의미를 지니고 있다. 가사중 어두운 사탄의 맷돌들은 제분공장을 의미하며, "Mental Fight"는 다만 정신적이거나 신앙적인 싸움의 은유가 아니라, 전 구절에서 나열된 냉병기들과 같이 물리적인 수단을 동원하는 반산업혁명 운동을 의미한다.

1920년대 여성의 참정권 부여를 목적으로 한 영국의 단체인 여성의 참정권을 위한 전국 연합(National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies)의 대표 가곡으로 사용되었다. 코먼웰스 게임에 참가하는 잉글랜드 선수단이 2010년 대회부터 잉글랜드를 대표하는 노래로 사용하고 있다.
