This report in the Telegraph about Alan Davey's speech to the ABO:
-
It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world. -
Encouraging, ff? Will there be real "clear water" between Mr Davey and his predecessor...?"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

I'm well aware of the need to attract without oversimplifying!

Am I especially thick in not realising what CR3 stood for when i saw the title of this thread? I initially thought of a classic Nakamichi cassette recorder.Comment

I haven't listened to Juliette Greco in ages - must remedy that .Comment

But my point was that all that was vieux jeu when I was attempting to interest pre-Honours students in Charles d'Orléans. It was becoming passé when I was a student. I suppose it was the funny clothes
