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 . C.A. Parker .

Thanks for that tiompan (not a duplication at all and duly added to stack).

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. Michael Dames

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? http://www.new7wonders.com/fileadmin/resources/shop/song/n7w-song-lyrics.pdf

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.
