Elizabeth the Golden Age is my new favorite movie ever. I was first introduced to this movie by the NYPL and have since become a missionary for it.
but that does not compare to the speech:
Oh, Elizabeth!
How blessed am I to stand in your fabled presence, warmed by your greatness as by the rays of the sun.
Oh Elizabeth! To speak your name is to hear celestial music. May that sweet sound guide me through my life to come -
Elizabeth! Elizabeth! I have travelled here, to this illustrious court, in the hope that our two great nations might be joined in love. But now that I am bathed in the radiance of your glory, I am overwhelmed. I am conquered.
I die.
Only your love, great Elizabeth, can restore me to life.
there's a reason my daughter's middle name is elizabeth.
