"Of the younger painters none actually paints so beauifully as Francis Bacon." --Wyndham L*wis (1949)

   chords of rain slip down
my stationary car's glass
   as faintly traffic
churns and i think of away
but not i think in this car


"And terribly the hoofs of Sleipner rang
Along the flinty floor of Asgard streets..."

--Matth*w Arnold
