    “Below me trees unnumbered rise,
    Beautiful in various dyes:

    The slender fir that taper grows,
    The sturdy oak with broad-spread boughs.”

    And the ominous, ominous dancing ahead.
    We sat in the car park till twenty to one
    And now I’m engaged to Miss Joan Hunter Dunn.”
    —Sir John Betjeman (1906–1984)
