Horse banned in gardens
Sir,—Wordsworth had a phrase for people who failed to appreciate the beautiful things about them — “dull of soul.” I fear many of our city councillors would fit this description. Any man who thinks a horse and carriage out of place in a public garden and that the sound of a motor is preferable to the gentle clip-clop of a horse’s hooves must be dull of soul indeed. Mr Lyons used to pass my house every morning with his horse and carriage, we loved hearing them and watching them and we have missed them since they moved. It must seem to many people that the council exists to forbid and seldom to promote. — Yours, etc., DRINA SISARICH. October 3, 1984.
