Walking along the river bank, I am compelled once again to stop, to stand and stare. I am reminded of the poem by W.H Davies
Leisure
What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare?-
No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows:
No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass:
No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night:
No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance:
No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began?
A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
The last public execution at Lancaster Castle took place in 1865. The gallows were accessed through French windows in the round tower. From 1865 to 1910 executions were carried out in private behind the wall in the middle of the frame.
