Here is the grave of Edward FitzGerald in Boulge churchyard, Suffolk. The head of the grave is to the left and by this is a cage containing the famous rosebush, the history of which is described in History of Men's Fashion . To the right, at the foot of the grave, are some more rosebushes, given by the government of Iran in 1972. The photograph is by Laurence Mann. Left click to view.

There is a great curve in the words;
ReplyDeletethey are as rounded as a silver scythe
Slicing, violently, into an overgrown
thicket and revealing what survived
and grew, voluptuously, beneath the dirt.
And this gives out a light few would divine.
Here in the mainstream, we are dogged marchers
en masse, straight-talking, set on red routes,
to the very ends of the earth! While you move
freely, easily, inside your well-rounded world.
