Igår gick jag igenom Shakespeares Sonnet 18 med en elev och insåg hur jäkla roligt jag faktiskt tycker det är att arbeta som lärare. Helst med litteraturen i engelska B. Hoppas, hoppas att jag hittar ett jobb till hösten så jag får gosa ner mig i en massa gamla klassiker och försöka få eleverna att tycka om dem, de med :)
Tills dess, får jag (och ni som läser detta) njuta lite av Rufus Wainwrights version av Sonnet 29 + lite Pride and Prejudice = tre goda ting i ett, precis som ett Kinderägg! ;)
Sen hittade jag denna också, lite mer nutida versionen, från oogafilms - en high school film, inte illa :)
SONNET 29
When, in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes,
I all alone beweep my outcast state
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries
And look upon myself and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends possess'd,
Desiring this man's art and that man's scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least;
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate;
For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.
I all alone beweep my outcast state
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries
And look upon myself and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends possess'd,
Desiring this man's art and that man's scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least;
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate;
For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.
No Fear, Shakespeare! ;)
Det är inte mycket som klår Shakespeare. :)
