When as a youth at Caissa’s shrine I knelt
And marvelled at her magic, chequered maze,
At times, in deep euphoria I felt
That I could weave her weft for all my days.
But grim reality was ever near,
And though in turn I took my humble prize
The more I loved her, so too did I fear
That I, in truth, was nothing in her eyes.
And so it happened that I left her path
To wend my way far off the beaten track,
To seek my fortune and escape the wrath
Of marble queens and vengeful knights in black.
The Dragon’s fiery breath eluded me,
And quaint, romantic gambits played by kings
Were left to rust, the Frenchman’s legacy
And Greek gifts were left standing in the wings.
And yet, through all my travels down the years,
I never strayed so far as to forget
The pleasure in the pain, the smiles through tears,
And sometimes, even now, I still regret
The fact that I deserted her to chase
Another rainbow’s end where Fortune lies,
And where (as once with Caissa) I must face
The Cruellest Mistress in a sylph’s disguise.

The people who used the unfortunate but very public death of a small time criminal and drug addict in Minneapolis as a pretext for burning American cities and rioting all over the world mocked the assassination of this man, a father of two, who was doing his best to make healthcare affordable for all Americans.
The same people applauded the assassination of this man, who was likewise a father of two. Charlie Kirk’s only crime was to debate people in public, and he would take on all comers.
Now, the very same people are weeping buckets for this woman, who was brainwashed into harassing ICE agents in Minnesota, and paid the ultimate price.
If “Chestnuts” sounds extremely simply that is because it is the first piece of music I ever composed, circa 1979. It was written on the acoustic guitar at Chestnut Avenue, Leeds. The jazz musician Xero Slingsby lived in the same house for a time. I found out a year or two ago that he had died young.
This recording was arranged and performed by Diana Bliss in March 2026. Better late than never!
A much earlier recording played (badly) by me on the guitar can be found here:
