This is a poem which is ‘printed’ on the side of the Scottish Parliament.
by Hugh MacDiarmid
But Edinburgh is a mad god’s dream
Fitful and dark,
Unseizable in Leith
And wildered by the Forth,
But irresistibly at last
Cleaving to sombre heights
Of passionate imagining
Till stonily,
From soaring battlements,
Earth eyes Eternity
Hugh MacDiarmid (1892-1978)
Thanks for posting Kevin! Brings me right back to this past May when we were there with you and touring this great city! We had such a great time there… truly a magical and wonderful place! – Dan Essad
Definitely one of my 2 or 3 top Cities, after London ofcourse.
