I hope this isn't a duplication .
It is the lonest tract in all the realm
Where lived a people once among thier crags
Our race and blood , a remnant that were left
Pagan anong their circles , and the stones
hey pitch straight up to heaven .

Michael Dames: The Silbury Treasure

No golden horse, no gold in any shape. No bronze axe, no urns broken or entire. No body, no grave, no burial chamber of any kind. Nothing but a slip of whale bone which turned out to be oak. Where were the flashing chevrons, golden nails, lumps of marvellous amber, torques, bracelets, shining lunulae neck pieces, or arrangements of bi-conical beads carved in sullen jet? Not found.

Home is where one starts from. As we grow older
The world becomes stranger, the pattern more complicated
Of dead and living. Not the intense moment
Isolated, with no before and after,
But a lifetime burning in every moment
And not the lifetime of one man only
But of old stones that cannot be deciphered.
from "East Coker " T.S. Eliot .

Is naff stuff eligible?
If so, may I offer the naff lyrics to the official song of the naff 7 Wonders vote?

100 on the Naffometer!
That is so cliched, so very sad, only the England football team could do it justice.
My ten-minute effort...
The New Seven Wonders?
But EH's blunders
Will drive a big road through them all
Put some tat in the mound
Don't disclose what we found
Stick a campsite in Durrington Walls
If the doorway's too narrow
We'll widen the barrow
To let wheelchairs get inside West Kennet
And Avebury's ditch oughtta
Be filled up with water
We'll ignore when you shout "Gordon Bennet!"
Seven Wonders? That many?
We don't think we've got any
That haven't been paved and restored
With EH's protection
And metal detection
There's so little to add to the hoard
Could we settle for two?
Silbury, Avebury too
Maybe Stonehenge if we can agree
On the council decision
Of a two-mile incision
To bury the A303
I had to stop there, it gets depressing after a while...

Jeeesus H Woden, that's brilliant!
Peerless.
It has to be given a wider airing.

We could sell off the assets
And the county of Wessex
To American Theme Park designers
Visit Silbury's slides
And Stonehenge's train rides
Not to mention the McDonalds diners
