Re: The road in Shropshire that was built by pre-Roman engineers by hewpop on Thursday, 11 August 2011

I learnt a poem quite a few years ago, but for the life of me I can't remember who wrote it or where I got it from. I used to recite it whilst looking for and following Roman tracks in Hertfordshire and Devon. Does anyone know the author? I may have got one or two words wrong, and maybe forgotten a line, but this is near enough.

"Some luck is needed. you may walk that way a hundred times
And then, in a certain light and the right season, say when the first green shoots best show the shaping ot the soil,
You may see the line across that lonely field.
And looking where the road once went, you can see the Roman might
like a blaze of distant light
And brighter still for all the dark between."

Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
