It's difficult to know what to say. I was one of his students at Glasgow in
the sixties, so my knowledge of him and his work goes back over forty years.
A towering presence, whose stature increased in the course of years.
Two endings of poems:
'From time the souvenirs are deeds.'
--"From the Domain of Arnheim"
' -- Of course, but nothing is ever the same.
now is it? You'll remember Mercury.'
-- "The First Men on Mercury"
