478. Benedict na Hay Festival Digital w 2020 roku

Wystąpił niemal pod koniec wydarzenia upamiętniającego 250 lecie urodzin Williama Wordswortha
na Hay Festival Digital.
Usłyszeliśmy w jego wykonaniu wiersz:

It is a Beauteous Evening, Calm and Free

It is a beauteous evening, calm and free,

The holy time is quiet as a Nun

Breathless with adoration; the broad sun

Is sinking down in its tranquility;

The gentleness of heaven broods o'er the Sea;

Listen! the mighty Being is awake,

And doth with his eternal motion make

A sound like thunder—everlastingly.

Dear child! dear Girl! that walkest with me here,

If thou appear untouched by solemn thought,

Thy nature is not therefore less divine:

Thou liest in Abraham's bosom all the year;

And worshipp'st at the Temple's inner shrine,

God being with thee when we know it not.
