"Poet Laureate John Betjaman, a quintessential English poet"
Blimey, the sterling rhyming limey.
"But most of us turn slow to see
The figure hanging on a tree
And stumble on and blindly grope
Upheld by intermittent hope,"*
but in groping find it hard,
hoisted by our own petard.
* excerpt from "The Conversion of St. Paul" by Sir John Betjeman
Best,
dale
