Re: green and pleasant
"England's green, unpleasant land" is the standard mis-hearing of a line in the hymn 'Jerusalem' :
I will not cease from mental fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land.
(from a poem by William Blake, riddled with question marks)
