Marcus walking

Marcus is over halfway there. See my earlier posting titled "Leave to Remain" for the background. In Marcus's "live" blog of his walk from Dover to the the Croydon Home office to mark the start of Refugee Week and the opening of the Leave to Remain art exhibition - he writes: bq. "To sum up my current state I resort to the biblical saying The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak...." Here is a picture that Marcus took on his walk from yesterday. Except I have played around with it in Photoshop in order to transform the beautiful English countryside into a bleak, minds-eye image of a nightmare-ish landscape.
England's pleasant pastures
bq. "And did those feet in ancient time Walk upon England's mountains green? And was the holy Lamb of God On England's pleasant pastures seen?" From a patriotic song called Jerusalem - still sung at English public school assemblies. Composed by Charles Hubert Hastings Parry in 1916. Words are from a poem called Milton by William Blake (written 1804-1808).
