And marbled clouds go scudding by The many-steepled London sky.

John Betjeman
And marbled clouds go scudding by The many-steepled London sky.
And marbled clouds go scudding by The many-steepled London sky.
And marbled clouds go scudding by The many-steepled London sky.
And marbled clouds go scudding by The many-steepled London sky.
About This Quote

This quote from William Wordsworth is a wonderful description of the clouds that seem to dance across the sky throughout the day. Many of us live in cities, and with that comes a constant procession of clouds passing by. In the case of London, which has been known for its clouds since at least the early 19th century, it seems that there are always clouds scudding by.
