Dunno if this has been noted previously .

From archaeology
One moral , at least , may be drawn.

By standing stones the blind can feel their way ,
And even madmen manage to convey
Unwelcome truths in lonely gibberish

W.H. Auden

Many thanks for that Mr t - it's a new one on me and duly added to the stack.

Our very own gjrk is probably too modest to mention it himself but there's a flippin' good poem of his now up on - http://megalithicpoems.blogspot.com/ Though Mr g's poem is inspired by the Knockawaddra alignment in County Cork it fits well with the pic of Stonehenge by Gideon Fidler that precedes it.
