Gone utterly and for ever
A theme which runs through all of our lives – those endlessly grinding wheels of irreversible change.
We were all young and hopeful then, we could all live on a shilling a year and think ourselves well off, we could all sit in front of the lumbering horse ‘buses and chat confidentially with the omniscient driver, we could all see Dan Leno in Pantomime and watch Farren dance at the Empire, we could all rummage among those cobwebby streets at the back of the Strand where Aldwych now flaunts her shining bosom and imagine Pendennis and Warrington, Copperfield and Traddles cheek by jowl with ourselves, we could all wait in the shilling queue for hours to see Ellen Terry in Captain Brassbound and Forbes-Robertson in Hamlet, we could all cross the street without fear of imminent death, and above all we could all sink ourselves into that untidy, higgledy-piggledy, smoky and beery and gas-lampy London gone utterly and for ever.
Hugh Walpole – All Souls’ Night (1933)
Walpole writes of the world he knew as a young man before the Great War, but it’s an experience we all know very well indeed. Often too well as the familiar slips into the past, never to be recovered – people, places, times.
Much of the world I grew up in, the myriad impressions, the fascinating, foolish texture of the times which made it the fifties and sixties, that has gone forever.
