Walls, they are so very important, being humanity's principal marks on the Earth (China's Great Wall being so huge it is visible from space), and being symbols of the bounds of human freedom. Walls... as someone who currently works near Chester and who once lived in Colchester, I am always reminded of Auden's brilliant poem 'Roman Wall Blues'. And, of course, the thuggish rulers of Germany were righly told: "We don't need walls to keep our people in". Poets, at the moment you don't need to fight for your freedom to express, but soon you might have to.
