I'd like to know the background to the photo and the comment. I don't see the immediate relevance.

Pic is taken on the Barbican High Walk, with either Shakespeare or Lauderdale Tower to the left and Ben Jonson House to the right. Olivia Laing is sitting in the re-wilded meadow/garden.

Anybody know different?
