The Superannuated Man ...

"From a poor man, poor in time, I was suddenly lifted up into a vast revenue"

This summer, I've decided, I'll read Charles Lamb's Essays of Elia - 

I've only skimmed so far the pages of my pristine Everyman - I bought it in 1976 - 

Jukeboxes were playing The Killing of Georgie in louche Brighton pubs - Annick had just gone back to France - 

The second hand bookshop was not far from the station - lurid paperbacks smouldered - late Rushkins were inscribed with strange signatures - 

The first essay I'll read will be The Superannuated Man - 

Perhaps I'll read it sooner, in Eduardo's house -
