    In a little rainy mist of white and grey
    we sat under an old tree,
    drank tea toasts to the powdery mountain…

    —Edwin Morgan, “The Picnic”
    published in COLLECTED POEMS (Carcanet, 1990)

    The Picnic by Edwin Morgan In a little rainy mist of white and grey we sat under an old tree, drank tea toasts to the powdery mountain, undrunk got merry, played catch with the empty flask, on the pine needles came down to where it rolled stealthily away – you lay with one arm in the rain, laughing shaking only your wet hair loose against the grass, in that enchanted place of tea, with curtains of a summer rain dropped round us, for a rainy day.

                The Big Bang Theory of Medieval Scots Literature
                10 June, Royal Over-Seas League, London – free

                No surviving works in Older Scots appear until the 1370s, when John Barbour – without warning or explanation for the bemused modern literary historian – produced THE BRUS, a vast chivalric biography of Robert the Bruce. Prof Rhiannon Purdie explores the remarkable & seemingly sudden origins of literature in Scots

                                        For this week’s #ThursdayBooksandBeer I’m exploring more of Patrick White, the only Australian winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature (Coetzee became an Australian citizen three years after winning). A Fringe of Leaves was White’s first novel published after he won the Nobel and is inspired by the story of Eliza Fraser, who was shipwrecked at K'gari, off the coast of Queensland, in 1836 and lived with the Butchulla people there. White was inspired as much by Sidney Nolan’s paintings of her as by the actual historical details (which are contested anyway). The beer match is a ‘Where the Wild Things Are’ Giraween native ale from Working Title. “Since settling down to life at sea, lulled by air and motion and the mystical permutations of canvas, there was little to convince the passengers that the days had not been created by men for their own convenience.” #reading #literature #nobelprize #craftbeer
