Richard

My bones, scripted in light, upon cold soil,
a human braille. My skull, scarred by a crown,
emptied of history. Describe my soul
as incense, votive, vanishing; your own
the same. Grant me the carving of my name.
?
These relics, bless. Imagine you re-tie
a broken string and on it thread a cross,
the symbol severed from me when I died.
The end of time – an unknown, unfelt loss –
unless the Resurrection of the Dead …
?
or I once dreamed of this, your future breath
in prayer for me, lost long, forever found;
or sensed you from the backstage of my death,
as kings glimpse shadows on a battleground.

小編提示：之前就有研究證明本尼親親是理查三世的遠(yuǎn)親哦！到底是怎樣的遠(yuǎn)親捏？看科學(xué)家詳盡道來(lái)?。?/strong>

據(jù)估計(jì)在英國(guó)，1700萬(wàn)人中有100萬(wàn)人和理查有血緣關(guān)系，理查三世的遺骸在2012年被發(fā)現(xiàn)埋在了萊斯特一個(gè)委員會(huì)停車(chē)場(chǎng)的下面。

但是萊斯特大學(xué)的席爾教授說(shuō)：“因?yàn)樗挡推妫┦堑谌眯值?，更有直屬關(guān)系?！?/div>
