Talk:Botley, Oxfordshire

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Seacourt Tower, known locally as "Botley Cathedral"

- I've lived in Botley for years and never heard anyone call it "Botley Cathedral". Sosie 12:24, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Ah, perhaps you don't know the poem by Paul Sutton:
Botley Cathedral

Curved glass opacity
blank as a Kubrik monolith
a spire on top
like the RKO transmitter
placed there to reconcile
modernity with antiquity
and complement a famous
no longer somnolent view.

Situated due west
on clear evenings it catches
the sun’s final light
then reflects it back east
in blinding gold and black tribute
to the colours of the city.
