Underneath my stiffened gown. Is the softness of a woman bathing in a marble basin, A basin in the midst of hedges grown. So thick, she cannot see her lover hiding, But she guesses he is near, And the sliding of the water. Seems the stroking of a dear. Hand upon her.

We humans are naturally disposed to worship gods and heroes, to build our pantheons and valhallas. I would rather see that impulse directed into the adoration of daft singers, thicko footballers and air-headed screen actors than into the veneration of dogmatic zealots, fanatical preachers, militant politicians and rabid cultural commentators.
Stephen Fry
