Dear Douglas Clark, mathematician
There appears to be some confusion, and
as I tonight read as a poet standing up in Prahran
and then later lying down at The (South) Melbourne
Writers' Festival... (Audience participant... )
I'm just off to lurk mode.
A brief sojourn to consider callings
also who should renew teaching Double Bass,
and what Il Globo can do for my Latin.
Family Historian, Musician, Poet,
all honoourable profesiions...
Liked your poem, Doug, especially:-
The silence at mid-day in the olive grove
As Pan rests from his hunting,
I cannot remember the silence across the narrow valleys.
Hugh Tolhurst
PS The Romans always read lying down! There
was a good Latin reader on hand for the night,
a mate of young William Fox's who did it for a beer.
