Two quotes from fine correspondents today, one, who took the photo, ‘genius is mysterious’ and the other, my only American chum left, it seems, ‘When the going gets weird, the weird turn Pro!’ Hunter S Thompson, gonzo journalist and author of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. We’ve no desire to be so big and bad, or to be launched into the stratosphere by memorial space rockets, but just to remind ourselves that there are many wonderful artists out there, a discovery near Butler’s Wharf on the Thames, last night, of the most amazing fountain, a poem to the feminine muses of life and water. Keep looking, all, with restored eyes.
