Edgelands (original poem)
Edgelands
There is the kingdom at the edge of the
World, and beyond the endless rolling freeze -
No less likely home to be had by men
Who dwell in softer earth, far over seas
In those eternal plains beneath endless sky,
Though Byzantines came after Roman drum,
And through the rough and darkling seas they still
From far reaches to ancient Alba come.
World, and beyond the endless rolling freeze -
No less likely home to be had by men
Who dwell in softer earth, far over seas
In those eternal plains beneath endless sky,
Though Byzantines came after Roman drum,
And through the rough and darkling seas they still
From far reaches to ancient Alba come.

The Future by the Past
My old Master of Arts (Honours) History dissertation on retrofuturism, a topic about which you can read much more at Paleofuture (a fascinating blog which is also full of stunning images). I also thoroughly recommend this book from Popular Mechanics:
