Retrospect (1): a poetic handful
To celebrate ten years of blogging, I am going to do a short series of retrospectives, each highlighting a small selection of posts on some of miscellaneous themes that have preoccupied the English Buildings blog over the past decade. These past posts are some of my personal favourites, and all but the most dedicated of regular readers will have missed quite a few of them, so I hope the following links will give them another place in the sun.
The sun is relevant to the first of these posts, but the overriding theme here is poetry, and the way my encounters with buildings have reminded me of some favourite poems...
John Donne and Derek Jarman in Dungeness
Philip Larkin and doors in St John's Wood
Thomas Hardy and wagonettes in Worcestershire
P J Kavanagh, mourning, and temperance in Fulham
C P Cavafy and Patrick Leigh Fermor in Gloucestershire
