By and by crepusculum - the twilight - comes ...

I can still hear John Aubrey's voice - 

I've been reading Ruth Scurr's beautiful and tender book - 

I've walked with the young antiquarian round Avebury - 

I kissed the hand of the raffish King -

I fell deeper and deeper in love with books - 

In Garraways I drank coffee with Mr Hooke -

I caught the eye of Mr Hobbes - 

When old I hid from my creditors like an invisible ghost - 

I rescued antiquities from the teeth of time - 

By and by crepusculum - the twilight - comes - then total darkness
