    22 years ago, I left that giant red region in the Far East and came to this country as a student. 8 years later, I successfully obtained my citizenship of Britain. This nation is the mother of democracy, liberty, rule of law and industrialisation. I firmly believe that her values are worth defending with our lives and "another country" will eventually appear on this land one day. God Bless the United Kingdom and God Bless us all!

      America would’ve been a better country had it not rebelled against the Brits. Slavery would’ve been banned much earlier and there wouldn’t be so much grievance and racial hatred in the 21st century. And Canada would also have been part of the United States.

    • @mixolydian45

      Holst wrote "The Planets" between 1914 and 1916. Sir Cecil Spring Rice
      wrote the poem "Urbs Dei" sometime between 1908 and 1912. In January 1918, affected by the horrors of World War I, Spring Rice rewrote the poem (especially the first verse) which then became "I Vow to Thee, My Country". He sent this rewritten poem to a friend of his shortly before his death the following month. Holst then took the melodic section from "Jupiter" and set the poem to it in the early 1920s.
      Hope that clears it up! :)
