The Spire

Posted by Hello

Spire being repaired by English Heritage.

I looked at this and immediately thought of William Golding’s novel The Spire. It’s about the triumph of hope over expediency as the Dean of a cathedral attempts to put an immense spire onto a tower that has no foundations. Even the stones sing (in his head) in honour of his endeavour.
