No belfry, but we do have a "turret room", as I like to call it...
20 some feet high...a tall room that has our library, junque and
'puter in it. It does not have an attic, as it projects up above
the main 2nd story roof line.

The bats are safely ensconced in the narrow height attic above the house.
I've about given up trying to keep them out. The insulation, 6 inches of
polyisocyanurate board and 6 inches of std fiber glass batting, over the dry
wall ceiling, make for a fairly good barrier between "their room" and the house.

And one of my Fave poets, Thomas Stearns Eliot:

"Truth has rough flavours if we bite it through."
"This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but a whimper"
"You are the music while the music lasts."
"My name is only an anagram of toilets."


And, the Four Quartets...not as well known as Prufrock or The Wasteland, but worth a quick peruse, imo...
