When the great bell
BOOMS over the Portland stone urn, and
From the carved cedar wood
Rises the odour of incense,
I SIT DOWN
In St. Botolph Bishopsgate Churchyard
And wait for the spirit of my grandfather
Toddling along from the Barbican.


‘City’, John Betjeman

My favourite ever picture of John Betjeman.

Hater of modern architecture and saviour of St.Pancras Station, bless his beautiful shiny bald head for that.
