Dispatches for the
Colonial Office
I am a Ptolemaic
There was a star danced, and under that I was
born
-Beatrice in Much Ado About Nothing,
II.i.349
This
little world isn’t much, but it’s what we’ve got
Our
Narnia, our Middle-Earth; it’s green
It’s
green and blue and round, an almost-sphere
Fitted
with all the ancient conveniences
Let
the stars encircle us as a crown
And
who will dare to say it is not so?
For
we are commanded to grow this garden
By
the light of the sun, and of faith and love
As
Shakespeare might have said, this blessed plot -
This
little world isn’t much, but it’s what we’ve got
