That's wonderful. I hope he was behaving himself :)

of course.

Lawrence Durrell - all adjectives pertaining to to be qualified with a "not quite". Really enjoyed your poem it kind of echoes L.D.'s humour - comment not qualified. :)

I'm finally reading The Avignon Quintet - hence this poem! The poem was entirely - but entirely - spontaneous. Took about 5 mins - which is the way I write these days, a bit like Durrell :)

Thank you for this. His brother, Gerald, was interesting, too.

Shouldn't a character like that deserve a better punch line?

Lawrence Durrell was one of those people who floated in and out of Anais Nin's journals, and I still have the intention to float through his world some day. Glad to see he makes an appearance in your world too. The Alexandria Quartet is creeping up my book list, I might get to it one day.
