London

Author: 
Hopkins, Malcolm

"The area of Kings Cross is, contrary to all received ideas, the true sanctum regnum of British legend, a place you only have to scratch the surface to find gold."
Aidan Andrew Dunn.

He who cannot find wonder, mystery,awe,the sense of a new world and an undiscovered realm in the places by the Gray's Inn Road will never find those secrets elsewhere, not in the heart of Africa, nor in the fabled hidden cities of Tibet. " The matter of our work is everywhere present", wrote the old alchemists, and that is the truth. All the wonders lie within a stone's throw of King's Cross Station.
Arthur Machen

I wander thro' each charter'd street
Near where the charter'd Thames doth flow
And mark in every face I meet
Marks of weakness, marks of woe
William Blake
