Since
Stella was rich And John was done, I can make a catachresis As well as anyone. Mine is the broken saucepan And the broken heart; But never a tinker Cared for his art. Green Book No.3 cf Sir Philip Sydney's 'Stella' (Penelope Rich) and Donne's 'A Hymn to God the Father'. The name Caird derives from the Gaelic - ceard - a tinker. November, 1942 |
