Summary
[edit]DescriptionDR JONATHAN WESTAWAY (14222683716).jpg |
Jonathan Westaway from the University of Central Lancashire presented a paper at Newcastle's Literary and Philosophical Society seminar: 'Romanticism and the Invention of Mountaineering'. His lecture was titled: 'A Banner With A Strange Device' (The Legacy of Longfellow's poem Excelsior' A fascinating insight. Dr Westaway's publications include: - 'The German Community in Manchester, Middle-Class Culture and the Development of Mountaineering in Britain, c.1850-1914' . 'The Origins and Development of Mountaineering and Rock ClimbingTourism in the Lake District, c.1800-1914'. 'The Making of a Cultural Landscape: The English Lake District as Tourist Destination, 1750-2010'.
The shades of night were falling fast, As through an Alpine village passed A youth, who bore, 'mid snow and ice, A banner with the strange device, Excelsior! His brow was sad; his eye beneath, Flashed like a falchion from its sheath, And like a silver clarion rung The accents of that unknown tongue, Excelsior! In happy homes he saw the light Of household fires gleam warm and bright; Above, the spectral glaciers shone, And from his lips escaped a groan, Excelsior! "Try not the Pass!" the old man said; "Dark lowers the tempest overhead, The roaring torrent is deep and wide!" And loud that clarion voice replied, Excelsior! "Oh stay," the maiden said, "and rest Thy weary head upon this breast! " A tear stood in his bright blue eye, But still he answered, with a sigh, Excelsior! "Beware the pine-tree's withered branch! Beware the awful avalanche!" This was the peasant's last Good-night, A voice replied, far up the height, Excelsior! At break of day, as heavenward The pious monks of Saint Bernard Uttered the oft-repeated prayer, A voice cried through the startled air, Excelsior! A traveller, by the faithful hound, Half-buried in the snow was found, Still grasping in his hand of ice That banner with the strange device, Excelsior! There in the twilight cold and gray, Lifeless, but beautiful, he lay, And from the sky, serene and far, A voice fell like a falling star, Excelsior!Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 1807-1882. |
