there are monoliths built
of unknowable antiquity
scattered arcanely about
the basin horizon,
pillars of ribs help them
breathe once a century,
fields between have yet
to be built; the Thames
seethes gaseous silver
while to the west a
tarnished silver sphinx
unicorn, hideous possibility,
sits solitary as if a pack
before the proscenium sky
of gilded cloud steel and
titan to all of time
London from Greenwich Park exhibited 1809 Joseph Mallord William Turner 1775-1851 Accepted by the nation as part of the Turner Bequest 1856 http://www.tate.org.uk/art/work/N00483
