> And here I thought you were going to say "Geoffrey Hill,"
I'm just imagining an alternative to Grange Hill, full of morose
students earnestly studying Marsilio Ficino and Hobbes and exchanging
Latin quips.
("Little Britain" has a school called "Kelsey Grammar"...)
There is of course a degree of continuity between the schoolboy humour
(very much orientated towards puns and Bergsonian pratfalls) of Danger
Mouse and the sometimes very submerged line of wit in Hill's poetry.
