== His 221B poem ==

Here dwell together still two men of note 
Who never lived and so can never die: 
How very near they seem, yet how remote 
That age before the world went all awry. 
But still the game's afoot for those with ears 
Attuned to catch the distant view-halloo: 
England is England yet, for all our fears-- 
Only those things the heart believes are true. 
A yellow fog swirls past the window-pane 
As night descends upon this fabled street: 
A lonely hansom splashes through the rain, 
The ghostly gas lamps fail at twenty feet. 
Here, though the world explode, these two survive, 
And it is always eighteen ninety-five.
