Pylons in the clearing Most people wouldn't give them a second glance but not so Stephen Spender as in his 1933 poem, The Pylons, he wrote, "Pylons, those pillars, Bare like nude, giant girls that have no secret". There you go then and I bet you'll never again view a pylon in the same way as you did in the days of yore!
