Some lovely Larkin. Why does he lend himself so much to this kind of exercise?

Well I think Mondrian is fantastic. I use to make shirts based of his designs. People LOVED them and they were so easy to make. I probably have a picture of me wearing one somewhere on this computer.

Show us your shirt, Orwn. Mondrian obviously missed his metier; he should have gone in for designing clothes. Anyway, I did say I'd have ONE painting. The rest you could do yourself.

I never think of those who are continually great at all.
I thnk of all those Mondrians on my wall.
I think of them for quite a bit.
And then I think jack shit.

WESTERN WIND

Western wind, when wilt thou blow,
That the small rain down can rain?
Christ, that my love were far away
And I on the prowl again!

It's not a very good picture and I don't know what I'm pointing at, but here it is. I did one based off of "Broadway Boogie Woogie" which was amazing, but I don't have a picture of it.

Roger, your twist on 'Western Wind' reminded me that Paul Dehn had an ominous version of this at the height of nuclear anxieties in the Cold War.

From memory, his last two lines went:

Christ, that my love were in my arms
And I had my arms again!
