How shadowy, Of some occult magician’s rearing, Or swung in space of heaven’s grace Dissolving, dimly reappearing, Afloat upon ethereal tides St. Paul’s above the city rides!” A rumor broke through the thin smoke, Enwreathing abbey, tower, and palace, The parks, the squares, the thoroughfares, The million-peopled lanes and alleys, An ever-muttering prisoned storm, The heart of London beating warm. • John Davidson • Do you remember the London fog? Hovering in the sky over the bridge, And the sweet smell of the Thames? Pierced my heart with a knife. Do you remember the Tower Bridge? Gentle breeze caressing your skin And this coolness, London, I'm not leaving. • Diana Palamarchuck • I go to London dream And spend the rest of his days. And like a mantra every day repeating that leave there, I think it will be true. I want to let air into the lungs of London, To each cell filled with them. And the soul is soft. And all of us that dream materialize. • Julia Borisova Список использованных источников информации • Выборова, Г.Е., Мельчина, О.П.
