letra de fleet street - arthur henry adams
beneath this narrow jostling street
unruffled by the noise of feet
like a slow organ-note i hear
the pulses of the great world beat
unseen beneath the city’s show
through this aorta ever flow
the currents of the universe—
a thousand pulses throbbing low!
unheard beneath the pavement’s din
unknown magicians sit within
dim caves, and weave life into words
on patient looms that spin and spin
there, uninspired, yet with the dower
of mightier mechanic power
some bent, obscure euripides
builds the loud drama of the hour!
there, from the gaping presses hurled
a thousand voices, p-ssion-whirled
with throats of steel vociferate
the incessant story of the world!
so through this artery from age
to age the tides of p-ssion rage
the swift historians of each day
flinging a world upon a page!
and then i pause and gaze my fill
where cataracts of traffic spill
their foam into the circus. lo!
look up, the crown on ludgate hill!
remote from all the city’s moods
in high, untroubled solitudes
like an old buddha swathed in dream
st. paul’s above the city broods!
