"Quite, quite chop-fallen"

On my way home today from the university I walked past Bard's Yard, where the Pop-Up Globe is in the process of being pulled down (sniff). Here it is, in all its waning glory.

The green thing in the foreground is the roof of the onion dome which originally sat between the two gables. The green of the roof exactly matches the green of the crane!

Good night, sweet Globe, and flights of angels [in hard hats and fluorescent jackets...] sing thee to thy rest!
