林肯總統欣賞甚麼歌?

林肯總統欣賞甚麼歌?
………………………………………………*李察
(問到底 No.7971 2010 1212 Sunday








  有一次林肯演說,提到一首詩:「天使不敢去的地方,傻瓜衝進去。」林肯說,他就是要做那傻瓜,他就是要衝進去。但這是Johnny Mercer的歌詞,他生在一九零九年,比林肯遲了剛剛一百年,林肯怎會聽到一百年後的歌?詩的原作者是誰?但這不重要。重要的是精神:
 
/Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.
/And so I come to you, my love, my heart above my head.
/Though I see the danger there
/If there's a chance for me, then I don't care

/Mm-mm-mm-mm

/Fools rush in where wise men never go
/But wise men never fall in love, so how are they to know?
/When we met, I felt my life begin
/So open up your heart and let this fool rush in……
