	07/14/16 - NNHS Newsletter - Bastille Day “No dictator, no invader, can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever. There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom. Against that power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.” - J. Michael Straczynski (b. 17 July 1954)

Dear Friends and Schoolmates,   

   Are you hearing the strains of La Marseillaise yet?

   My mama,               the late Maxine Frix Buckley (John Marshall HS - '25), used to sing me the first verse of La Marseillaise every July 14. Unfortunately, I thought the title alone (much like the German umlauted "u") was virtually impossible for all but natives of the language to learn, so I never bothered to memorize the anthem myself. Add that to my list of life's regrets.

BONUS #1 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4K1q9Ntcr5g - La Marseillaise, French National Anthem (French / English translations - complete with errors)

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Marseillaise:

"La Marseillaise" ("The [Song] of Marseille"; French pronunciation: [la maʁsɛˈjɛz]) is the national anthem of France. It was written and composed by Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle in 1792 and adopted in 1795 as the nation's first anthem. It is also the first example of the European march style of anthem.

Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle wrote "La Marseillaise" in Strasbourg on 25 April 1792. Its original name was "Chant de guerre pour l'Armée du Rhin" ("War Song for the Army of the Rhine") and it was dedicated to Marshal Nicolas Luckner, a Bavarian-born French officer from Cham. It became the rallying call of the French Revolution and received its name because it was first sung on the streets by volunteers (fédérés) from Marseille upon their entry into Paris on 30 July 1792 after a young volunteer from Montpellier called François Mireur had sung it at a patriotic gathering in Marseille and the troops adopted it as the marching song of the National Guard of Marseille. A newly graduated medical doctor, Mireur later became a general under Napoléon Bonaparte and died in Egypt at 28.

The song's lyrics reflect the invasion of France by foreign armies (from Prussia and Austria) which was ongoing when it was written; Strasbourg itself was attacked just a few days later. The invading forces were repulsed from France following their defeat in the Battle of Valmy.

"La Marseillaise" was screamed during the levée en masse and met with huge success^{[citation needed]}.

The Convention accepted it as the French national anthem in a decree passed on 14 July 1795, making it France's first; but it was then banned successively by Napoleon I, Louis XVIII, and Napoleon III, only being reinstated briefly after the July Revolution of 1830.^[1] During Napoleon I's reign Veillons au Salut de l'Empire was the unofficial anthem of the regime and during Napoleon III's reign Partant pour la Syrie. During the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries "La Marseillaise" was recognised as the anthem of the international revolutionary movement and in 1871, it was adopted by the Paris Commune. Eight years later in 1879, it was restored as France's national anthem, and has remained so ever since.

“A grateful heart is a beginning of greatness. It is an expression of humility. It is a foundation for the development of such virtues as prayer, faith, courage, contentment, happiness, love, and well-being.” - James E. Faust (31 July 1920 - 10 Aug 2007)

Thanks so much, Susan!

Allons enfants de la Patrie Le jour de gloire est arrivé Contre nous de la tyrannie |: L'étendard sanglant est levé :| Entendez vous dans nos campagnes Mugir ces féroces soldats? Ils viennent jusque dans vos bras, Égorger vos fils, vos compagnes! Aux armes citoyens! Formez vos bataillons! Marchons, marchons, Qu'un sang impur Abreuve nos sillons. 2. Que veut cette horde d'esclaves De traîtres, de Rois conjurés? Pour qui ces ignobles entraves, |: Ces fers dès longtemps préparés? :| Français! pour nous, ah! quel outrage! Quels transports il doit exciter! C'est nous qu'on ose méditer De rendre à I 'antique esclavage! 3. Quoi! des cohortes étrangères Feraient la loi dans nos foyers! Quoi ! ces phalanges mercenaires |: Terrasseraient nos fiers guerriers :| Grand Dieu! par des mains enchaînées Nos fronts sous le joug se ploieraient! De vils despotes deviendraient Les maîtres de nos destinées! 4. Tremblez, tyrans! et vous, perfides, L'opprobre de tous les partis, Tremblez! vos projets parricides |: Vont enfin recevoir leur prix. :| Tout est soldat pour vous combattre, S'ils tombent, nos jeunes héros, La terre en produit de nouveaux Contre vous tout prêts à se battre. 5. Français! en guerriers magnanimes Portez ou retenez vos coups. Épargnez ces tristes victimes |: A regret s'armant contre nous. :| Mais ces despotes sanguinaires, Mais ces complices de Bouillé, Tous ces tigres qui sans pitié Déchirent le sein de leur mère! 6. Nous entrerons dans la carrière, Quand nos aînés n'y seront plus Nous y trouverons leur poussière |: Et les traces de leurs vertus. :| Bien moins jaloux de leur survivre Que de partager leur cercueil, Nous aurons le sublime orgueil De les venger ou de les suivre. 7. Amour sacré de la Patrie Conduis, soutiens nos bras vengeurs! Liberté, Liberté chérie! |: Combats avec tes défenseurs. :| Sous nos drapeaux, que la victoire Accoure à tes mâles accents, Que tes ennemis expirants Voient ton triomphe et notre gloire!
