An Eye Cast In Aspic

Who said that?

Am I sure it was Noel Coward

Or some such wag
Waugh

Graham Greene maybe

AA Gill ?
He wishes...

One of those jolly guys used to polishing porcelain
With their pristeen fingers

And none of them dishes anymore

Observing only and so sore

Like bulls' eyes gotten from the butchers

Placed squeamish on the petri

Watching a scalpel's approach

Complaining englishly

As critics
To a blunt life
But what does it mean? 
What does it mean?
