Part of Poet Laureate Andrew Motion's poem "Lines for The Supreme Court" (1999–2009) which is engraved on to a semicircular stone bench opposite the entrance to Middlesex Guildhall, London, England, UK. The relevant verses of the poem read (with the words pictured italicized): :A thousand years of judgment stretch behind – :The "weight of rights and freedoms balancing" :With fairness and with duty to the world: :The "clarity time-honoured thinking brings". :New structures but an old foundation stone: :The "mind of Justice still at liberty" :Four nations separate but linked as one: :The "light of reason falling equally".
