Leslie Gilbert Illingworth: from Punch, 3 August 1955 (British Cartoon Archives, University of Kent)




I longed for companionship rather,


But my companions I always wished farther.


And now in the desolate night


I think only of the people I should like to bite.







Stevie Smith: In the Night, from Mother, What Is Man? (1942)
