Notes

  • Epigraph: Is there anything better in the world than sitting at the table and eating good food and drinking great drink and discussing everything under the sun with wise and brilliant people?...And I'm never going to sit down to dinner without a philosopher, a poet, a musician, an actress, a dancer, and a bishop, at table with me...But every morning I shall drift up and down the Backs in a punt, discussing everything in the world, with anybody who desires. - Rupert Brooke to Cathleen Nesbitt, McDonald's Hotel, Suva, Fiji, Monday, 24 November 1913
  • Ninth poem in the sequence.
