Subject: (glencook-fans) Can you help me out?

This is off the topic of this board, but I decided to ask this queastion
anyway...
Me and my friend are wondering, where do these texts come from, what are the
titles and the names of their authors. Unfortunately, I don't have the
sources to check, so if any of you recognize those pieces, please help.

Greetings from Gwen

And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountains green?

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.

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.

Sounds to me like William Blake... not sure though. I know he did write an epic
poem about Lucifer's fall from grace though...

Gwen,

No mistaking these mighty rhythms!

Him the Almighty Power
Hurld headlong flaming from th' Ethereal Skie
With hideous ruine and combustion down
To bottomless perdition, there to dwell
In Adamantine Chains and penal Fire,
Who durst defie th' Omnipotent to Arms

That is from John Milton's great epic, _Paradise Lost_ (Book I, lines=
 44-49).

The other one was familiar to me (especially the last line), but I
couldn't put a name to it; I had to do a search on the web:

And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England=92s mountains green?
And was the Holy Lamb of God
On England=92s pleasant pastures seen?
And did the Countenance divine
Shine forth upon those 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 chariot of fire!
I will not cease from mental fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England=92s green and pleasant land.

As Brooke said, this is, indeed, William Blake, the poem "Jerusalem".

Steve

John Milton, thank you. Why do I always get those two mixed up?

Paradise Lost by John Milton.  Refers to the fallen one being cast out
of heaven.

A hymn written by William Blake (there is a rumour that Milton wrote the
first two lines).  Based on the legend that Jesus visited Britain as a
teenager with Joseph of Arimathea, who was said to be a distant relative
and had a stake in Cornish tin mines.  Joseph (who I think was the
person to donate his tome for Jesus) is also rumoured to have gone to
England (sometimes the stories include Mary of Magdoline coming with
him) and being with him the cup used in the last supper - the holy
grail.
The grail myth gets tied to Merlin and Author, and some say traces back
to a Celtic one about the Black Caldron, but none of this leaves the
realm of rumour and myth.

More info can be found at

Something that might help you in the future - while I knew a bit about
"And did those feet..." I didn't recognize the other one, so I called up
goggle and pasted a line (the second one in this case because the first
one looked weird) into the search box.  Seconds laters I was looking at
a bunch of results listing it as Paradise Lost by Milton.  Works for
most published poems (not so well for the really really obscure ones)
and most songs.

An unrelatetd note for Milton fans - you might enjoy _The Song of Joy_
by Nick Cave.  It's an interest song, but a bit disturbing.

Thank you! I was guessing the first one could be written by Milton, but the
second one was tougher. Thanks, again:)

Subject: (glencook-fans) Monthly Mailing List Info

The October and November mail archives have been posted to the website.

The website is now up-to-date with the many foreign editions published in
the last couple months.

Also an interview article from 1982, "South Sider", was posted to the
Biography section with some interesting details about "Swordbearer."

The Biography section is now complete with all known published interviews.

The Bibliography section now seems to work with Mozilla 0.9.6.

Poland:
    "Zolnierze Zyja" from Rebis is now available.
    Due to slow sales, REBIS has postponed the release of "Dojrzewa wschodni
wiatr" till June 2002 and "Nadciaga zly los" to October 2002.
    And I think they are hesitant to publish more.

Spain:
    "Sombras Fluctuantes" from La Factoria de Ideas is now available.
    Look for "La Rosa Blanca" from La Factoria de Ideas soon.

US:
    "Shadows Linger" from TOR has been published with a redesigned cover.
    Same art. Different type.

It always amazes me that people can be on the Internet
and not spend two little seconds on a search engine.
