“As a boy, I remember serials in Chums (an English paper for schoolboys which is now extinct) in which a Terrible Trio — comprising a conjuror boy, a ventriloquist boy, and an India-rubber boy — made life intolerable for everybody who was so unfortunate as to come near them. It kept me in side-shaking fits of laughter and stirred me to ill-fated excesses of emulation, which a lack of talent and even of rubberiness quickly subdued.”

And they smell like sleep,
And they say they take me home.
Like poppies heavy with seed
They take me deeper and deeper.”

Muted the night.

A cymbal crashed,
Amid roaring horns.”
