Kerensa's got me thinking about blackberries.
'Earth's crammed with heaven,
And every common bush afire with God
But only those who see take off their shoes.
The rest sit round it and pick blackberries,
And daub their natural faces unaware.'
(Elizabeth Barrett Browning)
Except now we don't even do that. We buy ridiculously expensive and tasteless blackberries from Tesco, and never go near the bush in the first place.
