Betjeman's "The Sandemanian Meeting House in Highbury Quadrant"

Beautifully restored yet fluorescent strip lighting? What would Betjeman's thoughts be on that! "The Sandemanian Meeting House in Highbury Quadrant" The Sandemanian Meeting-House in Highbury Quadrant On roaring iron down the Holloway Road The red trams and the brown trams pour, And little each yellow-faced jolted load Knows of the fast-shut grained oak door. From Canonbury, Dalston and Mildmay Park The old North London shoots in a train To the long black platform, gaslit and dark, Oh Highbury Station once and again. Steam or electric, little they care, Yellow brick terrace or terra-cotta hall, White-wood sweet shop or silent square, That the LORD OF THE SCRIPTURES IS LORD OF ALL. Away from the barks and the shouts and the greetings, Psalm-singing over and love-lunch done, Listening to the Bible in their room for meetings, Old Sandemanians are hidden from the sun.
