Endelig fant jeg igjen yndlingsdiktet mitt fra engelskboka vi hadde på skolen! Av en eller annen grunn falt jeg for dette diktet, og jeg har alltid ønsket å finne det igjen, men ikke tenkt på at jeg kunne lete på nettet. Men jeg søkte – og fant!
Halfway Down The Stairs
Halfway down the stairs
Is a stair where I sit:
There isn’t any other stair quite like it.
I’m not at the bottom,
I’m not at the top:
So this is the stair where I always stop.

Halfway up the stairs
Isn’t up, and isn’t down.
It isn’t in the nursery, it isn’t in the town:
And all sorts of funny thoughts
Run round my head:
"It isn’t really anywhere! It’s somewhere else instead!"
