| 説明 | The King Edward I monument is showing signs of wear and weathering the pillar is well railed-off, locked-up and a lonely mile's walk from the village of Burg by Sands where his Royal Majesty lay in the village church for ten days following his demise here on the edge of the Solway. Given its relative isolation its remarkable that the monument has survived for so long. King Edward died of dysentery in these salt-marshes in 1307, and serves him right I say for being a Scot I still smart from his historical blows! Not for nothing was he called "The Hammer of the Scots". The original memorial has been replaced several times since the first was erected in 1685. I have taken my my pic title come from Philip Larkin's poem about that similarly unpeopled landscape: Holderness:HERE (Part)Here silence stands like heat. Here leaves unnoticed thicken,Hidden weeds flower, neglected waters quicken,Luminously-peopled air ascends;And past the poppies bluish neutral distanceEnds the land suddenly beyond a beachOf shapes and shingle. Here is unfenced existence:Facing the sun, untalkative, out of reach.” Philip Larkin 1922 - 1984. |
