debris4spikeThe hospital I work at is on 2 sites, one of which is in thesame district of Exeter that Tim lives in ... Heavitree. This is their Millenial Memorial that I walk past every day. A few years ago we all went and read it, looked at it, read the display notes ... and still haven't a clue, so can't fill you in!!

Now if nature should intermit her course, and leave altogether though it were but for a while the observation of her own laws; if those principal and mother elements of the world, whereof all things in this lower world are made, should lose the qualities which now they have; if the frame of that heavenly arch erected over our heads should loosen and dissolve itself; if celestial spheres should forget their wonted motions, and by irregular volubility turn themselves any way as it might happen; if the prince of the lights of heaven, which now as a giant doth run his unwearied course, should as it were through a languishing faintness begin to stand and to rest himself; if the moon should wander from her beaten way, the times and seasons of the year blend themselves by disordered and confused mixture, the winds breathe out their last gasp, the clouds yield no rain, the earth be defeated of heavenly influence, the fruits of the earth pine away as children at the withered breasts of their mother no longer able to yield them relief; what would become of man himself, whom these things now do all serve? “
And I'm still no wiser as to why they chose it for their Millenial Memorial. But it does look very impressive.
