Southsea Street Art
Another fantastic piece of artwork by local Southsea artist "My Dog Sighs".
This is on the wall of what used to be a huge Knight and Lee department store (and as it says on the wall, a branch of the John Lewis Partnership) which sadly, closed with a huge loss of jobs. It was one of two "flagship" stores in the shopping centre (the other being Debenhams, also closed down). I suspect both will soon be demolished and turned into housing.

We only have ourselves to blame - online buying is killing shops and the pleasure of seeing true colours and feeling textures, perfumery smells as you enter the store; how have we allowed ourselves to become so divorced from our senses and detached from emotion; it makes me think of W.H.Davies' poem;
What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.
No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.
No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.
No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.
No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.
A poor life this is if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
My own town Havant is full of charity shops, nail bars, barber shops, take-away shops and estate agents and the whole place has an air of depression. It's dirty and unloved and the council have no money..!! It used to be such a lovely little town........but now I won't even go there on my own in the dark..!!
Thanks for sharing the poem, which I vaguely remember from my school days........a very long time ago!
