Epigraph (Motto/Zitat) |
Die Informationen stammen von der englischen "Wissenswertes"-Seite. Ändern, um den Eintrag der eigenen Sprache anzupassen. HAIL Bishop Valentine, whose day this is ; All the air is thy diocese, And all the chirping choristers And other birds are thy parishioners ; Thou marriest every year The lyric lark, and the grave whispering dove, The sparrow that neglects his life for love, The household bird with the red stomacher ; Thou makest the blackbird speed as soon, As doth the goldfinch, or the halcyon ; The husband cock looks out, and straight is sped, And meets his wife, which brings her feather-bed. This day more cheerfully than ever shine ; This day, which might enflame thyself, old Valentine.
II.
Till now, thou warmd'st with multiplying loves Two larks, two sparrows, or two doves ; All that is nothing unto this ; For thou this day couplest two phoenixes ; Thou makst a taper see What the sun never saw, and what the ark —Which was of fouls and beasts the cage and park— Did not contain, one bed contains, through thee ; Two phoenixes, whose joined breasts Are unto one another mutual nests, Where motion kindles such fires as shall give Young phoenixes, and yet the old shall live ; Whose love and courage never shall decline, But make the whole year through, thy day, O Valentine.

If Sophia is remembered at all nowadays it is as a granddaughter of James I of England and VI of Scotland, a sister of Rupert of the Rhine or the mother of George I, but she was an exceptional woman in her own right, remarkable both for her open-minded and down-to-earth character and for her writings which have been sadly neglected. | |
