Summary
[edit]DescriptionTHE STROMNESS LIBRARY (9273035835).jpg |
English: The Stromness Library looks a rather tired place these days though I believe it will soon have a new lease of life in the still-to-be completed civic-center under construction down by the harbour. George Mackay Brown (GMB) lived round the corner in Mayburn Court so every time he walked along the street he would pass the library..Did he pop in for a chat with the girls, to do some research, or pick-up a who-dunnit? I haven't been able to trace any reference to his using it but there is a library reference in one of his poem quoted below. I looked in on the library twice, on the first visit it was empty save for a solitary member of staff, on my second a lone gentleman was making use of the PC facility. There is however a nice bust of George and a rather good painting of him wearing quite a cheery face. Worth going in to see them and I hope they survive the flit.
THE DEATH OF PETER ESSON Peter at some immortal cloth, it seemed, Well Peter knew, his thousand books would pass The Free Kirk cleaves gray houses - Peter's ark Peter. I mourned. Early on Monday last |
