England 2-0 France
La Marseillaise sung at Wembley Stadium
during England/France Nov.17
The
French national anthem, La Marseillaise, was penned by army engineer Claude
Joseph Rouget de Lisle during the French revolutionary wars in 1792. It was originally written as a marching song
and the lyrics can only be described as bloodthirsty.
The
anthem evokes brutal images of cutting the throats of the enemy and “watering”
the fields with their “impure” blood.
Rouget
de Lisle called his composition Chant de guerre pour l'armée du Rhin – War song
for the Rhine Army – but it became known as the La Marseillaise after being
sung by revolutionary volunteers from Marseille
marching on Paris in 1792.
One night (mare)
in Paris and the Stade de France
The primary values for living a
spiritual existence: Peace (peace sign), Love (cupid heart), Life
(Egyptian Ankh) and Balance (Daoist Yin & Yang). Seek these. Embody
these, and find true happiness.
