SHIVERING SOLDIER (O.S.) You haven’t turned around!

Mr. Dawson turns calmly to the Soldier.

MR. DAWSON：  No. We have a job to do.

SHIVERING SOLDIER Job? This is pleasure yacht! You’re weekend sailors, not the blood navy! A man your age -

MR. DAWSON Men my age dictate this war. Why are we allowed to send our children to fight it?

SHIVERING SOLDIER YOU SHOULD BE AT HOME!

MR. DAWSON There won’t be any home if we allow thus slaughter across the Channel 英吉利海峡. There’s no hiding from this.


The Elderly Man handed blanket and teas to the passing soldiers, and keep saying: Well done, lads…well done,,,
Alex responsed to him saying: All we did is survive.
The man said: That’s enough. 

In the most famous passage of Churchill's speech, he warned Britain about the possible collapse of France and that, consequently, she would stand alone against Germany and face an invasion. He left the House in no doubt what the resolution would be should that occur: 'We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills. We shall never surrender!'.

Do not go gentle into that good night

 Dylan Thomas, 1914 - 1953 

Do not go gentle into that good night, 

Old age should burn and rave at close of day; 

Rage, rage against the dying of the light. 

Though wise men at their end know dark is right, 

Because their words had forked no lightning they 

Do not go gentle into that good night. 

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright 

Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, 

Rage, rage against the dying of the light. 

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, 

And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, 

Do not go gentle into that good night. 

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight 

Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, 

Rage, rage against the dying of the light. 

And you, my father, there on the sad height, 

Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.

 Do not go gentle into that good night.

 Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Autumn Song 

 by Paul Verlaine 

When a signing begins 

In the violins 

Of the autumn song, 

My heart is drowned 

In the slow sound 

Languorous and long 

Pale as with pain, 

Breath fails me when 

The hours toll deep. 

My thoughts recover 

The days that are over, 

 And I weep. 

And I go, 

Where the winds know, 

Broken and brief, 

To and fro, 

As the winds blow 

A dead leaf.
