Paroles

Tonight we had a glorious auroral display –
Quite the most brilliant I have seen
At one time the sky from North North-West
To South South-East as high as the zenith
Was massed with arches bands and curtains
Always in rapid movement
The waving curtains were especially fascinating –
A wave of bright light would start at one end
And run along to the other
Or a patch of brighter light would spread
As if to reinforce the failing light of the curtain
For four days we have been unable to leave the tent –
The gale howling about us
We are weak writing is difficult but for my own sake
I do not regret this journey which has shown
That Englishmen can endure hardships
Help one another and meet death
With as great a fortitude as ever in the past
We took risks we knew we took them
Things have come out against us
And therefore we have no cause for complaint
But bow to the will of Providence
Determined still to do our best to the last
These rough notes and our dead bodies must tell the tale
Written by: Captain Robert Falcon Scott, Nico Muhly
