winter again

DECEMBER STILLNESS


























December stillness, teach me through your trees
That loom along the west, one with the land,
The veiled evangel of your mysteries.
While nightfall, sad and spacious, on the down
Deepens, and dusk imbues me where I stand,
With grave diminishings of green and brown,
Speak roofless Nature, your instinctive words;
And let me learn your secret from the sky,
Following a flock of steadfast journeying birds
In lone remote migration beating by.
December stillness, crossed by twilight roads,
Teach me to travel far and bear my loads.

Siegfried Sassoon

the perimeter wall of the power station has a crack which is moving, so a surveyor has left this interesting guage

a phenomenal amount of crushed stone, gravel and concrete is processed beside the river at nine elms for distribution across the city

no one is above the law in modern china

You couldn’t make it up … I just got in late from work and heard the end of the six o clock news on BBC radio 4 … their reporter said the Chinese government have angrily denounced the Dalai Lama’s proposals for finding his successor, … pointing out that “any re-incarnations without government consent were illegal” ...
