Si monumentum . . .

by paul-hansford

If I seek your monument, it is only everywhere. The violet and the nightingale and the rainbow all remind me, even the wild strawberries, though they happened long ago. All are part of you, being in that part of my mind which is yours. If I think about you, it is only all the time. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The inscription on the plaque in St Paul's Cathedral to the architect Sir Christopher Wren – "Si monumentum requiris circumspice" – translates as "If you seek his monument, look about you."
