The Wide Horizon
LONDON (Si monumentum requiris, circumspice.) Old London’s time-encrusted walls Are but the work of human hands. What man has fashioned for us falls; What God has breathed into us stands. What if the splendour of the past Is shattered into dust 1 ? We raise A monument that shall outlast Even the Abbey’s span of days. On broken homes we set our feet And raise proud heads that all may Immortal in each little street, The soul of its integrity. —A. A. Milne; in the Times (London).
