Vous le savez très bien que le chauvinisme australien se compose du patriotisme féroce plutôt qu'une croyance compromise dans la supériorité de son propre genre ?
Ici, en anglais est une poésie écrite en 1907 par Dorothéa McKellar.
Ce s'appelle le « noyau de mon coeur » ou « Core of my Heart ».
The wide brown land, - now greenYou know very well that Australian Chauvinism consists of fierce patriotism rather than a prejudiced belief in the superiority of one's own gender ?This patriotism was first identified by Dorothea McKellar when she wrote these beautiful lines, "Core of my heart" in 1907.I love a sunburnt country,
A land of sweeping plains
Of ragged mountain ranges
Of droughts and flooding rains.
I love her far horizons
I love her jewel-sea,
Her beauty and her terrors-
The wide brown land for me !
Recently the drought has given way to flooding rains and now we are blessed with,The love of field and coppice
Of green and shaded lanes
Of ordered woods and gardens
Is running in your veins-
Strong love of grey-blue distance,
Brown streams and soft dim skies--
I know but cannot share it.
My love is otherwise.
