In the depths of grief, cries echo through the air, piercing hearts and souls, and is a lamentation that transcends time and circumstance, from the sorrowful cries of mourners to the haunting echoes of fox hunting accidents. Just as Pyramus cried out for his beloved Thisbe in their tragic tale, so too do we find ourselves yearning for solace amidst life's cruel twists. The pain becomes unbearable, until one day Horace Wells introduced us to a balm for our suffering - anaesthetic - silencing our anguished cries during moments of agony. But amidst the trials and tribulations, there are also calls of hope and joy. "Who will buy my sweet blooming lavender?" rings out in London streets, as box sellers peddle their wares with enticing shouts. Milk below. Watercress from London. Cries resound through bustling markets as vendors entice passersby with their fresh offerings. The city's vibrant tapestry is woven together by its distinctive street cries. Sweet Lavender. Songs at just a penny a sheet. Old clothes anyone? These familiar refrains become part of London's identity; they are the melodic backdrop to everyday life. And yet amid this symphony of sounds lies an underlying truth: these cries represent more than mere commerce or entertainment. They embody resilience and determination in the face of adversity - whether it be selling flowers or singing songs on street corners. So let us not dismiss these seemingly mundane utterances but instead cherish them as reminders that even within life's hardships, there is beauty to be found. For within each cry lies a story waiting to be heard - tales filled with love lost and regained, dreams shattered and rebuilt – all encapsulated in those simple words: Fresh and sweet.
