Patience: If You’re Anxious for to Shine in the High Aesthetic Line

[00:00:00] Patience: If You're Anxious for to Shine in the High Aesthetic Line - Glyndebourne Festival Chorus

[00:00:09] If you're anxious for to shine

[00:00:11] In the high aesthetic line

[00:00:12] As a man of culture rare

[00:00:15] You must get up all the germs

[00:00:17] Of the transcendental terms

[00:00:19] And plant them everywhere

[00:00:22] You must lie upon the daisies

[00:00:23] And discourse in novel phrases

[00:00:25] Of your complicated state of mind

[00:00:28] The meaning doesn't matter

[00:00:30] If it's only idle chatter

[00:00:31] Of a transcendental kind

[00:00:36] And everyone will say

[00:00:39] As you walk your mystic way

[00:00:42] If this young man expresses himself

[00:00:45] In terms too deep for me

[00:00:48] Why what a very singularly deep young man

[00:00:51] This deep young man must be

[00:01:00] Be eloquent in praise

[00:01:02] Of the very dull old days

[00:01:03] Which have long since passed away

[00:01:06] And convince them if you can

[00:01:08] That the reign of good Queen Anne

[00:01:10] Was Culture's palmiest day

[00:01:13] Of course you will pooh-pooh

[00:01:14] Whatever may be fresh and new

[00:01:16] And declare it's crude and mean

[00:01:19] For art stopped short in the cultivated court

[00:01:22] Of the Empress Josephine

[00:01:27] And everyone will say

[00:01:30] As you walk your mystic way

[00:01:33] If that's not good enough for him

[00:01:36] Which is good enough for me

[00:01:39] Why what a very cultivated kind of youth

[00:01:42] This kind of youth must be

[00:01:51] Then a sentimental passion

[00:01:53] Of a vegetable fashion

[00:01:55] Must excite your languid spleen

[00:01:58] An attachment a la Plato

[00:02:00] For a bashful young potato

[00:02:01] Or a not too French French bean

[00:02:04] Though the Philistines may jostle

[00:02:06] You will rank as an apostle

[00:02:07] In the high aesthetic band

[00:02:10] If you walk down Piccadilly

[00:02:12] With a poppy or a lily

[00:02:13] In your medieval hand

[00:02:18] And everyone will say

[00:02:21] As you walk your flowery way

[00:02:24] If he's content with a vegetable love

[00:02:27] Which would certainly not suit me

[00:02:30] Why what a most particularly pure young man

[00:02:34] This pure young man must be
