How many miles to Babylon?
Three score miles and ten
Can I get there by candlelight?
Yes, you can get there by candlelight
You can get there and back again

For me, the beauty of the photos takes me away from the beauty and thought of your words … and that’s ok.

As you know, I don’t usually set up a shot. But I have these candles, and it’s coming on Christmas and candles always make me think of that rhyme.

There are several versions. It’s not exactly the same as the one on wiki.
btw, it’s mentioned in the movie StarDust, if you’ve seen it

I’d probably not like to be 70 miles from Babylon, to be honest. Seems a mite dangerous.

It’s a very old rhyme. Things were different in those days
