Looking forward to the first Zoom meeting organised by the Broadstairs Branch this evening. Good luck to all involved. The talk connects Messrs Spiers & Pond and the extra Christmas number of ATYR for 1866.

For #NationalPoetryDay Mrs Leo Hunter

"Can I view thee panting, lying
On thy stomach, without sighing
Can I unmoved see thee dying
On a log
Expiring frog!
Say, have fiends in shape of boys,
With wild hallo, and brutal noise
Hunted thee from marshy joys
With a dog
Expiring frog!"
