Cornwall: John Betjeman and St. Endellion





"Saint Endellion! Saint Endellion! The name is like a ring of bells...

There is something strange and exalting about this windy Cornish hill top looking over miles of distant cliffs, that cannot be put into words....

Man's life on earth will last for seventy years perhaps. But this sea will go on swirling against these green and purple rocks for centuries..."
