Karma Police - arrest this man
He talks in maths ; he buzzes like a fridge
He's like a de-tuned radio.
(Phew - for a minute there I lost myself).

Tarquin In Florence - April 2006
I thought I'd lost this photo : blogger seems to have been doing some silly things to me lately. This is probably No 1 in a series of Englishmen looking silly abroad.

Damien Rice Reads My Mind (Again).
This has got to die,
This has got to stop.
This has got to lie down
With someone else on top.
You can both keep me pinned,
'Cause it's easier to tease.
But you can't make me happy,
Quite as good as me.
(And you know that's a lie).

Shmoop put me on the spot for this one (!) so here you are :
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open it to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next four sentences on your blog along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig around for that "cool" or "intellectual" book on your shelves (I know you were thinking about it).
" The walls were mosaics and frescoes improving on Pompeii's finest discoveries (Pompeii's art, after all, was not trimmed with real Russian gold); the counters of the full-service bars were made of Italian marble inlaid with Spanish silver. Every seat in the house was crushed velvet. When construction was complete, Albee stood on the stage and said, of the impeccable acoustics, " This is where we can hear the Lord himself whisper."
One unfortunate quirk to the theatre was the set of murals donated by the forty families on Greenway's social registry."
There you go. And now - over to Tam Lin I think !

For Curtis - The Wizard King.
See how in their veins all becomes spirit ;
into each other they mature and grow.
Like axles, their forms tremblingly orbit,
round which it whirls,bewitching and aglow.
Thirsters, and they receive drink,
watchers, and see : they receive sight.
Let them into each other sink
so as to endure each other outright.
Words : Rilke Picture : JMW Turner
