I swear by all the stars that stream Through all the lofty leaves of night: I swear by the tremendous towers That crown Granada's vale of flowers: I swear by their impending gleam, The Sierra's snowy swords of light! By all the cruel and cold despair That Christ hath brought upon the land: By Mary and the false blind beastly Lies of the prudish and the priestly: By God and death and hate I swear That man shall rise, shall understand. I swear this by my lucid Eye, By all the freedom I have won, That men shall learn to love and doubt, Put faith and slavery to the rout, And eagle-pinioned even as I Soar to the splendour of the sun!

On the way back home we would stop in the village and buy a bag of roast hot chesnuts to share. Picture by Peter Buttress My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
