If so, can I have the bewks wot you bought him?
Eh?
Yes, he's the one I got the poetry for. And no, you can't have the books, because his son (who incidentally is the hubbie's best mate) has paid for them and is keeping them.
When he finished reading the one you recommended Chalice, he said he didn't quite get why we got him a book about homosexuality.
Chalice is harshing folks from around the world.![]()

Sexuality, certainly.
However Graves was a poet in classical sense. Heavily reliant upon the muse and whatnot. His old brain was clearly addled.
And being an English teacher, I find it impossible to believe that he hadn't already encountered Graves. (In some foxhole, trench or dugout of some description). See wot I did there?
Well, he knows graves now, in any case.
His reasoning was, that a war poet nor writing about women in an erotic sense, can only be homosexual.
I unfortunately never had the chance to read the book, I skimmed over it and read a few poems here and there.
But yes, he had been on morphine for a long time, and we all know what morphine does to the old brain.
hoi chalice, whens lost back on lyke?![]()
