It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world. -

I've just worked out how it happened.

I thought that looked like the Central Ref Library ... then I scrolled down and found it actually was.
I have happy memories of the many hours I spent in there when studying for finals.

"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

johnb - that's the Manchester Ref Library? Gosh! It takes me back to studying in the old British (Museum) Library on which I presume it was modelled. Unless Manchester led the way. (Not impossible
)

I think it makes the Union flag look less insular....more Euro minded....could be the singular zeitgeist logo that takes us on to a new beginning in this the new millennium....
