No existentialist has found life more meaningless than Shakespeare's "tale told by an idiot, full...
Today, the outskirts of Carlisle, just south of the Scottish border, are almost indistinguishable from the outskirts of Southampton 400 miles away, and along the highways between the two cities, William Blake's "green & pleasant land" of 150 years ago has been transformed into latter-day Poet John Betjeman's "dear old, bloody old England of telegraph poles and tin."
