Another doodle that I didn't get round to putting down here shows a soldier standing on a castle wall.
Castle Walls
No matter how strong the castle wall;
How sturdy, thick; how solid, tall;
No matter how strong the castle wall,
Eventually it falls.
And where there once were walls of stone
The remnants become overgrown,
And where there once were walls of stone,
They are overthrown.
The ramparts, now a fallen mass,
The Earth reclaims with soil and grass,
The ramparts now a fallen mass
WHose history must pass.
No matter how strong the castle wall;
How sturdy, thick; how solid, tall;
No matter how strong the castle wall,
Eventually it falls.
William Labov, RIP.
