There's a lot I could write about the death of Queen Elizabeth. But I'm limiting myself to two brief acknowledgements of her greatness.
Here's Philip Larkin:
In times when nothing stood
But worsened, or grew strange,
There was one constant good:
She did not change.
And here's Ted Hughes:
A nation's a soul
A soul is a wheel
With a crown for a hub
To keep it whole.
Both brief appreciations (for her silver jubilee) are inscribed on a monument erected in 1977 in London's Queen's Square.
