Sherlock Holmes

Here dwell together still two men of note
Who never lived and thus can never die...

The sweet Prince, у Sherlock в ее дневнике уже был такой вопрос.
Вроде бы пришли к выводу, что это легкий кивок вот в эту сторону:

Sherlock Holmes

Here dwell together still two men of note
Who never lived and thus can never die
How very near they seem, yet how remote
That age before the world went all awry.
But still the game’s afoot for those with ears
Attuned to catch the distant view-halloo:
England is England yet, for all our fears -
Only those things the heart believes are true.

A yellow fog swirls past the window-pane
As night descents upon this fabled street:
A lonely hansom splashes through the rain
The ghostly gas lamps fail at twenty feet.
Here, though the world explode, these two survive,
And it is always eighteen ninety-five.

Vincent Starrett (1942)
