Stone Shifting 3
Sep 01, 2003, 20:25
Right, this is the third instalment of Stone Shifting. If you want to know what went before go to Stone Shifting 2, which also summarises the original thread.

Before the thread recommences I’d like to post the following from Siegfried Sassoon, which isn’t much help but it ain’t half good…

What is Stonehenge? It is the roofless past;
Man's ruinous myth; his uninterred adoring
Of the unknown in sunrise cold and red;
His quest of stars that arch his doomed exploring.
And what is Time but shadows that were cast
By these storm-sculptured stones while centuries fled?
The stones remain; their stillness can outlast
The skies of history hurrying overhead.
