Cragside ...



A louche prince once lounged in this opulent gallery -

His elfin waisted wife wore diamonds on her brow - 

There were Turners -

Swallow tailed servants moved noiselessly - 


Miles away, on the river, smoke rose from cruel chimneys - 

Guns were forged -

Ironclads were launched on the rising tide -
