The sixth stanza of "Cornish Cliffs" is inscribed in a circle around the statue of Betjeman in St. Pancras Station, London. In that context the lines point to view through the amazing glass roof of the station. The statue shows the poet looking up and holding his hat. He carries a brief case as if on the way to catch a train he has tarried to admire the view. Betjeman used his celebrity to preserve St. Pancras station.
