It is to think that so many people have been in this place. They have walked, thought, dreamed, in the same place I have seen and been…
So many lives…
My Family and I started the on the tour, and on the way lining up, I saw this statement. If you ever see the “Lost Prince”, a BBC film that it is about these two brothers, one who became the Prince of Wales, and the other, because of his health, did not. He was kept away from society because of the seizers, of “falling sickness” he had.
The connection just made me open me eyes.
We entered the Parliament and I was filled with a sense of humility. On the window outside was, in Gothic Revival, words bordered it saying:
“He shall have dominion over also from sea to sea.”
God. :0)
I hope you visit this place one day and think about the others around you.
I don’t want to be too detailed, lest I overbear you with my personal matters.
But this place has really touched and moved me.
The Lion and the Unicorn:
I had recited that poem as a child in the second grade. It struck me that those two figures were here.
“The lion and the unicorn were fighting for the crown
The lion beat the unicorn all around the town.
Some gave them white bread, and some gave them brown;
Some gave them plum cake and drummed them out of town.”
