Someone has left a spear stuck in the sand

Oh, hell! Christopher Logue. And the sixth volume of War Music still unfinished.

Achilles' face
Is like a chalkpit fringed with roaring wheat.
His brain says: "Kill him. Let the Greeks sail home."
His thigh steels flex.

I am totally watching him as Swinburne in Ken Russell's Dante's Inferno (1967).

I'm sorry I didn't rave about him before! He had an even more varied literary life than I'd known. (The porn, yes. The jazz poetry, I had no idea.)
