Time Is Away: Carols

London, 25.12.23

“On December 23rd, a group of elderly carol-singers came round - their voices were sweet and tuneable, their conductor conducted with his electric torch, its light flashing over wet spectacles and wet faces. It was pretty; and kind of them to come so far. Perhaps they are Chapel carollers. Anyhow, they were friendly in their merry Christmasses. By dint of long residing, and never interfering, perhaps we are mellowing into popularity.”
