William Walton
By the blue wooden sea-
Curling laboriously
Coral and amber grots
(Cherries and apricots)
Ribbons of noisy heat
Binding them head and feet
Horses as fat as plums
Snort as each bumpkin comes
Giggles like towers of glass
(Pink and blue spirals) pass
Oh how the Vacancy
Laughed at them rushing by
"Turn again, flesh and brain
Only yourselves again!
How far above the ape
Differing in each shape
You with your regular
Meaningless circles are!"
Switchback was written by William Walton & Edith Sitwell.
