69. Listen to the poems (No 20, 21) and say what their messages are.

A. The poem you are going to listen to is believed to be a piece of war poetry. The story runs that the poem “Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep” was left in an envelope for his parents by Steven Cummins, a soldier killed on active service in Northern Ireland, to be opened in the event of his death. It was thought at first that the soldier himself had written it, but then doubts appeared and in the end its origins remain a mystery. In some respects this poem became the nation’s favourite.

Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep

(by an anonymous author)

Do not stand at my grave and weep

I am not there; I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow,

I am the diamond glints on snow,

I am the sun on ripened grain,

I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning’s hush

I am the swift uplifting rush

Of quiet birds in circled flight.

I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry,

I am not there; I did not die.

B. The second piece for listening is the famous extract from “Romeo and Juliet” by William Shakespeare, where Juliet speaks of her love for Romeo.

O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art¹ thou² Romeo?

Deny thy³ father and refuse thy name;

Or, if thou wilt not⁴, be but sworn my love,

And I’ll no longer be a Capulet.

’Tis¹ but thy name that is my enemy;

Thou art thyself², though not a Montague.

What’s Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot,

Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part

Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!

What’s in a name? that which we call a rose

By any other name would smell as sweet;

So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call’d,

Retain that dear perfection which he owes

Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,

And for that name which is no part of thee³

Take all myself.

Прослушайте стихотворения (№ 20, 21) и скажите, каковы их основные идеи.

Ответ:

A. The message of the first poem is that the soul of a deceased person does not reside in the grave but lives on in nature. It is a message of comfort, suggesting that death is not the end and the spirit continues to exist in the beauty of the world.

Основная идея первого стихотворения заключается в том, что душа умершего человека не находится в могиле, а продолжает жить в природе. Это послание утешения, которое говорит о том, что смерть — это не конец, и дух продолжает существовать в красоте окружающего мира.

B. The message of the second piece is that true love is more powerful than social conventions like family names or feuds. Juliet argues that a name is just a label and does not define a person's true worth. The essence of a person is what matters, and for love, one should be willing to abandon such superficial identities.

Основная идея второго отрывка в том, что настоящая любовь сильнее социальных условностей, таких как фамилии или семейная вражда. Джульетта утверждает, что имя — это всего лишь ярлык, который не определяет истинную ценность человека. Важна суть человека, и ради любви стоит отказаться от таких поверхностных атрибутов личности.
