I Dreamed I SThe playlist
aw St. Augustine by Bob Dylan
I dreamed I saw St. Augustine
Alive as you or me
Tearing through these quarters
In the utmost misery
With a blanket underneath his arm
And a coat of solid gold
Searching for the very souls
Whom already have been sold
“Arise, arise,” he cried so loud
In a voice without restraint
“Come out, ye gifted kings and queens
And hear my sad complaint
No martyr is among ye now
Whom you can call your own
So go on your way accordingly
But know you’re not alone”
I dreamed I saw St. Augustine
Alive with fiery breath
And I dreamed I was amongst the ones
That put him out to death
Oh, I awoke in anger
So alone and terrified
I put my fingers against the glass
And bowed my head and cried

Scottish Holyrood and York the Shambles
30 September 2009 / 1 Comment on Scottish Holyrood and York the Shambles
http://www.answers.com/topic/holyrood-palace
BBC Monday, 8 March 2010
The Shambles, York, named Britain’s ‘most picturesque’ |
|
A cobbled lane in York which dates from the Middle Ages has been voted Britain’s most picturesque street. The Shambles, which is lined with 15th Century buildings, took the prize in the Google Street View Awards. The Royal Crescent in Bath and Grey Street in Newcastle came second and third respectively in the vote. Hampshire’s Stockbridge High Street was voted “best foodie street” and Milson Street, in Bath, “best fashion street”. More than 11,000 people voted. They voted for their favourites after five streets were shortlisted in each category by a panel of experts, including travel editors. Ian Addyman, who owns a shop on The Shambles, said it was full of “historic charm”. He said: “There is a real feeling of community amongst shop owners and I think we all feel privileged to work in such a beautiful place. The shops here are all strikingly different and unique. “Most people say that if you visit York, then at some point you will walk down The Shambles. “It has been the backdrop for many a jigsaw, chocolate box and railway poster and once you visit you will see why.” The buildings on Milsom Street in Bath were originally grand town houses, but most are now used as shops, offices and banks. Stockbridge High Street was praised for its independent specialist shops, team rooms, pubs and restaurants, many of which serve local produce. |
