Idle Speculation

[poliphilo]

I think UFOs are real but not entirely part of this reality. If they were they'd feature in it more- and we'd be getting stronger and solider evidence of their existence. What I'm inclined to believe is that they're an intrusion from a neighbouring reality- here to observe, monitor, maybe tweak things a bit. The possibility that the veil between the two realities is thinning out and may eventually fade away is not something I'd entirely discount.

I was reading an article about Lorna Byrne- the woman who sees angels- and the comments on it were hateful. Some people feel deeply threatened when their materialist world view is challenged.

Excellent poem.

Riding is an underrated poet, IMO. Too many people are put off by the fact that she was a category 1 bitch who shacked up with Robert Graves. None of that takes away from the fineness of her best writing.

Have you a link to that Lorna Byrne article?

Graves was an exceptionally silly man. I imagine he got on her nerves.

Oh, she was far sillier, but the force of her personality and her domineering nature (I think personally she suffered from Narcissistic Personality Disorder or something like) meant that Graves, and his acolytes, took her every word utterly seriously.

They deserved one another.

There was an incident where she jumped out a high window in a bout of attention seeking and he jumped out after her- because he couldn't live without her or something like that. She walked away unharmed and he broke both his ankles.

Twits- the pair of them!

Actually, she was pretty badly injured. She couldn't walk for months and had to stay in hospital. It was touch and go for a while whether she would ever walk again.

That'll teach you to say "Goodbye chaps" and jump out of 4th floor windows.

Graves did get injured as you say but initially the police thought he'd pushed her out and nearly arrested him for attempted murder.
