Ja, den satt i blinken.
Min datter er anglofil, såpass at hun går på universitet der borte og har bestemt seg for at hun skal bo der i "a pile of bricks and stone."
Hun og venninnene har vært over hele øyriket fra de var 15. Shakespeare beskrev hva som trekker henne dit, tror jeg:
This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle,
This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,
This other Eden, demi-paradise,
This fortress built by Nature for herself
Against infection and the hand of war,
This happy breed of men, this little world,
This precious stone set in the silver sea,
Which serves it in the office of a wall
Or as a moat defensive to a house,
Against the envy of less happier lands,--
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.
