The Long Walk


She was pretty

A flirt

Talkative

Energetic

Effervescent

Gay

Good humoured

And generous to those she loved

So I asked a sculptor

To carve a likeness of her left foot

In white marble

So that I might stroll with her through eternity

 

 

Benjamin Disraeli commissioned a marble copy of the left foot of his wife Mary Anne

This is currently on display at Hughenden Manor in Buckinghamshire
