Dans le traité de Rome, qui pronait une réconciliation entre les anciens belligérants, une grande attention fut apportée aux fondements économiques préalables tel que la sécurité alimentaire et la fourniture d’énergie. Les grands principes de solidarité et de coopération se basèrent sur la subsidiarité dans toute la mesure du possible, ainsi que sur le droit de véto pour les aspects constitutionnels.Ainsi fut élaborée un équilibre délicat non seulement entre les perdants et les gagnants du conflit, mais également et surtout entre les petites et grandes nations.
3. Vaughan Williams geb. 1872 – Let beauty awake
[Marc & Hélène]
… to render again and receive …
Tout comme en amour la politique se doit de respecter des relations équilibrées et réciproques tenant compte des petits pays. De là l’importance de réserver un droit de véto dans les accords constitutionnels.
Let Beauty Awake
Let Beauty awake in the morn from beautiful dreams,
Beauty awake from rest!
Let Beauty awake
For Beauty’s sake
In the hour when the birds awake in the brake
And the stars are bright in the west!
Let Beauty awake in the eve from the slumber of day,
Awake in the crimson eve!
In the day’s dusk end
When the shades ascend,
Let her wake to the kiss of a tender friend,
To render again and receive!
4. Henry Purcell geb. 1659 – Close thine Eyes – Upon a quiet conscience
[Marie-Alice, Marc & Hélène]
He that guards thee….never sleeps
Dans le débat Brexin<-->Brexin notre „conscience“ fut détournée, avec l’aide de Cambridge analytica du vrai noeud Gordien à savoir quelle Europe faut-il construire? Les éducateurs Anglais attachent beaucoup d’importantce à la „confiance“.
Close Thine Eyes – Upon a quiet conscience
Close thine eyes and sleep secure;
Thy soul is safe, thy body sure;
He that guards thee, he thee keeps,
Who never slumbers, never sleeps.
A quiet conscience in a quiet breast
Has only peace, has only rest:
The music and the mirth of kings
Are out of tune unless she sings;
Then close thine eyes in peace and rest secure,
No sleep so sweet as thine, no rest so sure.
5. John Whitworth1921 – 2013: The Mermaid
…Britons never, never, never shall be married to a mermaid…
Oh ’twas in the broad Atlantic, mid the equinoctial gales
That a young fellow fell overboard among the sharks and whales.
And down he went like a streak of light, so quickly down went he,
Until he came to a mermaid at the bottom of the deep blue sea.
Refrain:
Singing Rule Britannia, Britannia rules the waves
And Britons never, never, never shall be married
To a mermaid at the bottom of the deep blue sea
She raised herself on her beautiful tail and gave him her soft wet hand
“I’ve long been waiting for you my dear, now welcome safe to land.
Go back to your messmates for the last time and tell them all from me
That you’re married to a mermaid at the bottom of the deep blue sea.”
We sent a boat to look for him expecting to find his corpse
When up he came with a bang and a shout and a voice sepulchrally hoarse.
“My comrades and my messmates oh do not look for me
For I’m married to a mermaid at the bottom of the deep blue sea.”
“In my chest you’ll find my half year’s wage likewise a lock of hair
This locket from my neck you’ll take and bear to my young wife dear
My carte de visite to my grandmother take, tell her not to weep for me
For I’m married to a mermaid at the bottom of the deep blue sea.”
The anchor was weighed, and the sails unfurled and the ship was sailing free
When up we went to our cap-i-tan and our tale we told to he
The captain he went to the old ship’s side and out loud bellowed he
“Be as happy as you can, with your wife, my man, at the bottom of the deep blue sea!”
