The
Tower
An old traditional public house stands proud and
firm. Behind the pub a dark sinister sky hangs and
ghostly white trees show rot and decay. The pub
lights are on but no one is at home. The drinkers
have all gone; they have filtered off to wine bars
and theme pubs. The tower is a symbol of false security;
the thick strong walls, traditional ales and warm
fire are no security from cheap prices and a fashionable
atmosphere.
Dignified: A sudden and drastic
change that, while shocking, is productive in the
long run. The crumbling of old outdated values.
Resistance to change or the inability to cope with
new circumstances or principles. Nothing lasts forever.
The local may be secure and familiar but don't you
think it was time you drank further afield?
Ill dignified: The imprisonment
of the mind through outdated values and ethics.
There is security but it is at the expense of creativity
and emotional expression. The inability to change
ones circumstances. Surprise news or actions will
disrupt the status quo and cause major upheaval.
Any revelations should be uncovered gradually. You
may be stuck in one pub for the moment but you won't
be stuck here forever.
