'Oh prams on concrete balconies, what will your children see? Oh
white and antiseptic life in school and home and clinic, oh
soul-destroying job with handy pension, oh loveless life of safe
monotony, why were you created?'
First and Last Loves is a collection of Betjeman's essays on
architecture, first published to coincide with an exhibition at the
Soane Museum, and a worthwhile volume in its own right. Introduced
with a lively tirade against mediocrity entitled 'Love is Dead',
Betjeman discusses a range of topics including conservation
battles, modern architecture and his passion for railways.
