I'm enjoying this thread on stolen time. Therefore keeping fairly quiet.
'The Old Age of Michaelangelo' is printed in the Penguin Moedern Poets 20,
the Heath-Stubbs / Prince / Spender volume. And you're absolutely right,
Dave, it's a very fine poem, as a lot of Prince poems. Curiously I first
came across the name F.T.Prince decades ago when reading 'The Late Poem', by
Lee Harwood, in Penguin Modern Poets 19.
