One of Sheffield’s many squares with the obligatory water feature. Strangely it’s these squares that reminded me of Germany a lot.

O travellers from somewhere else to hereRising from Sheffield Station and Sheaf SquareTo wander through the labyrinths of air,
Pause now, and let the sight of this sheer cliffBecome a priming-place which lifts you offTo speculateWhat if..?What if..?What if..?
Cloud shadows drag their hands across the white;Rain prints the sudden darkness of its weight;Sun falls and leaves the bleaching evidence of light.
Your thoughts are like this too: as fixed as wordsSet down to decorate a blank facadeAnd yet, as words are too, all soon transferred
To greet and understand what lies ahead -The city where your dreamling is re-paid,The lives which wait unseen as yet, unread.

- What If..? by Andrew Motion

O travellers from somewhere else to here
Rising from Sheffield Station and Sheaf Square
To wander through the labyrinths of air,

Pause now, and let the sight of this sheer cliff
Become a priming-place which lifts you off
To speculate
What if..?
What if..?
What if..?

Cloud shadows drag their hands across the white;
Rain prints the sudden darkness of its weight;
Sun falls and leaves the bleaching evidence of light.

Your thoughts are like this too: as fixed as words
Set down to decorate a blank facade
And yet, as words are too, all soon transferred

To greet and understand what lies ahead -
The city where your dreamling is re-paid,
The lives which wait unseen as yet, unread.

Clock tower spiel in Sheffield’s town centre that is sadly almost entirely hidden by newly developed surrounding buildings and cafe terraces.
