And behind their frail partitions Business women lie and soak, Seeing through the draughty skylight Flying clouds and railway smoke. Rest you there, poor unbelov’d ones, Lap your loneliness in heat, All too soon the tiny breakfast, Trolley-bus and windy street! Picture Quote #1

And London shops on Christmas Eve Are strung with silver bells and flowers As hurrying clerks the City leave To pigeon-haunted classic towers, And marbled clouds go scudding by The many-steepled London sky Picture Quote #1
