A Garden of Peace: A Medley in Quietude
Moore, Frank Frankfort
Gardens -- Fiction
In five minutes the front of our house is ablaze with flags, and five
Union Jacks are added to the hundreds that young and old wave over
their heads in the street; and amid the tumult the recent admirer of
the stolid English People is risking his neck in an endeavour to fix a
Crusader's well-worn helmet in an alcove above the carven lions on the
perch of his home.
There, high over us, stands the Castle Keep as it stood in the days of
the First Crusade.
“And ever above the topmost roof the banner of England blew.”
Going out I saw a cow stray down Waterport Lane; but no one paid any
attention to its errantry.
