Toward the Unknown Region-London Symphony Chorus/Bryden Thomson/London Symphony Orchestra

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Ralph Vaughan Williams [00:57.77]Darest thou now O soul, [01:05.12]Walk out with me toward the unknown region, [01:20.29]Where neither ground is for the feet nor any path to follow? [02:04.79]No map there, nor guide, [02:23.04]Nor voice sounding, nor touch of human hand, [02:37.42]Nor face with blooming flesh, nor lips, nor eyes, are in that land. [05:07.85]I know it not O soul, [05:25.17]Nor dost thou, all is a blank before us, [06:18.48]All waits undream'd of in that region, that inaccessible land. [07:53.04]Till when the ties loosen, [08:18.92]All but the ties eternal, Time and Space, [08:33.56]Nor darkness, gravitation, sense, nor any bounds bounding us. [09:21.94]Then we burst forth, we float, [09:35.41]In Time and Space O soul, prepared for them, [10:48.77]Equal, equipt at last, (O joy! O fruit of all!) them to fulfil O soul.
