Poems Of The Week

Stevie Smith
I Do Not Speak


I do not ask for mercy for understanding for peace
And in these heavy days I do not ask for release
I do not ask that suffering shall cease.

I do not pray to God to let me die
To give an ear attentive to my cry
To pause in his marching and not hurry by.

I do not ask for anything I do not speak
I do not question and I do not seek
I used to in the day when I was weak.

Now I am strong and lapped in sorrow
As in a coat of magic mail and borrow
From Time today and care not for tomorrow.


Stevie Smith


Langston Hughes
Dreams


Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.


Langston Hughes

Canterbury Visit

Completed my visit to Canterbury and filled in the report, so the rest of the day is quite free. I might take some pics but the weather is so overcast at the moment. I might wander to St. Martins Church which the oldest existing parish church in the city and dates back to the 6th century when it was a private chapel for Queen Bertha of Kent.

It is steeped in history. here is the Wiki entry on it -

Ciao! 

Pics From Canterbury

After my mystery shop talking to a tourist ambassador, i walked from the city beyond its walls to see St. Augustine's Abbey and the oldest church in the UK, St. Martins.


Here are some pics i took on this overcast day.

( Pics here )

The church is about twenty minutes walking distance from the city centre and is well worth the visit. It was a pity it was not open today. I would love to see the inside of the place.
