TO THE TORRENT AT THE DEVIL'S BRIDGE, NORTH WALES, 1824
HOW, art thou named? In search of what strange land
From what huge height, descending? Can such force
Of waters issue from a British source,
Or hath not Pindus fed thee, where the band
Of Patriots scoop their freedom out, with hand
Desperate as thine? Or come the incessant shocks
From that young Stream, that smites the throbbing rocks
Of Viamala? There I seem to stand,
As in life's morn; permitted to behold,
From the dread chasm, woods climbing above woods,
In pomp that fades not; everlasting snows;
And skies that ne'er relinquish their repose;
Such power possess the fitmily of floods
Over the minds of Poets, young or old!
William, Wordsworth
Here's the full list of the now 14 unclaimed boxes in nice little groupingswith acknowledgement to Delia Smith and William Shakespeare
So FCF veterans and newbies it matters not. "Lets be Havin' you". lest FCF ladies and gentlemen now a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they did not seek out and meet the AA box Challenge,![]()
