world wide wisdom

Five things support the world
The learning of the wise
The justice of the great
The prayers of the good
The valor of the brave
and a sturdy bracket from B&Q

As local boy William Blake once wrote:

To see a world in Holbeck Row
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour.

A bunch of flowers in a cage
Puts all of heaven in a rage.
A dove house filled with doves and pigeons
Shudders hell through all its regions.
A cat starved at his master’s gate
Predicts the ruin of the state.
A caravan parked upon the road
Calls to heaven for human blood.
