Difficult one this - whether to go down Adrian's "reading Keats on his i-Pad" route, or Brian's "abnormally normal" route? Sadly I couldn't possibly do as well as either of the above, so...
Today’s bohemian has difficulties differentiating between fantasy and reality, except when caught up in some natural disaster, such as a landslide. Generally from impoverished stock, he retains a strong affection for his mother, yet does not baulk at acts of murder, which he commits gangland-style. In such circumstances, his only plan of action is to rely on the prevailing meteorological conditions to escape justice.
He has visions too, frequently of archaic Italian clowns, whom he will ask to perform strange dances. He also converses with mediaeval Italian astronomers in alternate falsetto and tenor voices yet curiously is terrified by the natural phenomena of lightning and thunder, believing that they are manifestations that the Devil has set aside for him. These violent mood swings often cause him to challenge authority to hurl rocks or phlegm at him but again his dislike of facing into a breeze determines his direction of escape.
