Well, Brian Sewell was born 15 July 1931; Peter Warlock died 17 December 1930 [aged 36] - so not impossible

The last few pages are hilarious
Congrats to Flay for providing the vehicle for such amusement
Truly pleasurable things for the weekend.
Struggling to focus on finding the answer though
And would someone please explain all this Sewell-Warlock stuff!

Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

Yes, it appears so. Sewell's Ma and young Brian lived with Warlock's Ma (his (Warlock's) given name is Heseltine of course, Welsh, Montgomeryshire, not sure if Michael Heseltine is involved!) for some years before being booted out with an annuity as Warlock Ma had to care for legitimate Warlock child.Originally posted by Caliban View PostI missed it (is it somewhere up-thread here?)!

Edit: But I am further foward with Flay's puzzle!Last edited by Guest; 22-01-12, 15:10.Comment

Well, I now do find there is Leoš Janáček String Quartet No. 2, "Intimate Letters" Could that be it? Of course, I have quite forgot what the question is!
