The disturbing thing is that it doesn't feel like 40 years on - maybe half that? wasn't it all just a few months ago really, just back round the bend of the road? Yesterday once more eh?
"Forty years on, when afar and asunder
Parted are those who are singing today,
When you look back, and forgetfully wonder
What you were like in your work and your play,
Then, it may be, there will often come o’er you,
Glimpses of notes like the catch of a song –
Visions of boyhood shall float them before you,
Echoes of dreamland shall bear them along,
