Cherie’s Place – Thought for the Week

TWENTY bridges from Tower to Kew -
Wanted to know what the River knew,
Twenty Bridges or twenty-two,
For they were young, and the Thames was old
And this is the tale that River told

― Rudyard Kipling

View from Tower Bridge

    Interesting. ;-) Only today I wrote in another context:
    Lauschet den Versen
    aller Stimmen des Flusses:
    Uralt, doch stets jung.
    *
    The peace of the night.

    Did you see this famous saying “There are two things scarce matched in the universe – the sun in heaven and the Thames on earth” beside Southwark Cathedral?
