Hovering over the vase de nuit - tablet in hand - I came across a reference
to Wilfred Owen's Anthem for Doomed Youth.....

This line is so fuking brilliant, I can't get it out of my head...

Only the stuttering rifles' rapid rattle  Can patter out3 their hasty
orisons.4

Had to google "orisons"......


love,
