The Stirling staircase cascades down its landings.Descending you approachas in one long David Lean take of Sherif Ali approaching the wellmy eyes are held blinkless.Gradually a figure formswrapped against the winter chillthe sheep’s skin jacket crowned with a leather hatadorned by multi-coloured pheasant feathers.As we passfrom below its brim shine two chestnut eyesas dark as the midnight skyas bright as the moon leading the traveller home.My north, my south, my east, my west, my anchorForever I am bound to them and warmth of their accompanying smile.© Sheila Ash 19thOctober 2015See a greatset of photosof this iconic buildingashramblings
