Of all the poets that were so famous in their day, and yet entirely unknown now, surely Edward Fumer is the prime candidate.
Born in Wales in 1862, Fumer's parents were of low birth. His father was a bus conductress, his mother a fisherman. In those days, this kind of gender fluidity was something to hide.
In his biography Edward spoke of the mental difficulties he experienced as each morning his father would don a little black skirt, and his mother both a false beard and a sou'wester, before walking the uncaring streets to their jobs.
Starting work at the age of eleven, as a butcher's boy, the evenings found Fumer scribbling, mostly on walls. It was only later as he discovered the works of Byron, Tennyson, and Browning, that he decided to become a poet.
Words soon began to torrent from his pen, and his mighty epic "Mandylion" was finished as early as 1885. Notice was soon taken of this new young poet, and literary society took him into their collective bosom.
Many a thesis, dissertation and lecture were given on Fumer's work. The enigmatic lines "Hap the may, nine bob buys you a sardine, says our naughty Mary" made little sense at the time, although everyone agreed it was probably deep, and so they could make themselves look clever by discussing it.
The Royal Poets Society brought Fumer to London, where he was suitable fêted.
But it was all a fraud.
Fumer didn't really have a poetic talent at all, he had just been in the right place at the right time. Aware of his own lack of true talent, the strain became too much.
At the young age of fifty two, Fumer ended his own life with the aid of a stereoscope.
He left a note of apology and one final poem:
The poet spins a pretty table
Delicious words, the best he's able
He serves a seeming complex dish,
But really it's the price of fish.
Edward Fumer is buried in Poet's Corner, Westminster Abbey, where on a quiet night, he can still be heard, turning slowly.
Don't smoke, I mean, seriously. This cigar was only for the purpose of this picture, smoking doesn't bring you anything except bad stuff.
This was a fun self-portrait shoot though, but now I've got a room that smells like hell !

I've saved this snail from my watering can and when I put it on a few leaves it started foaming which is a defence if they are not happy or feel threatened.
Taken with my phone.
En 2013, dans un coin reculé d'un village, des passants ont vu s'échapper de la fumée des fenêtres de la maison. Ils ont tenté d'intervenir en cassant une fenêtre mais la fumée était très dense. Les pompiers interviennent et découvrent malheureusement un corps calciné dans la pièce même d’où est manifestement parti le sinistre. L’enquête, diligentée par les gendarmes, devra permettre de confirmer qu’il s’agit bien du corps de l’occupante des lieux, une octogénaire, veuve depuis une quinzaine d’années. La maison est depuis abandonnée.
Fuming nicely, 31322/249 bring another load of 'Rhylestone' stone into the yard to run round, en route to Leeds - 16th February 1989.

Ces deux soldats canadiens arborent un drapeau nazi qu'ils ont capturé dans les galeries de la carrière des Aucrais à Haut-Mesnil.
Le fanion nazi ne semble pas avoir beaucoup servi et était vraisemblablement plié dans la sacoche de l'attelage, celle qui gît à leurs pieds sur la droite de la photo.
Derrière les deux soldats, ce qui ressemble à une remorque "polyvalente" allemande Sd Anh 104, voir ici :

Voir le camouflage fait de branches accrochées sur les côtés du camion.

Ce hameau a été libéré le 8 août, dans le cadre de " Operation Totalize " par The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada-Princess Louise's de la 10th Inf. Brigade de la 4th Canadian Armoured Div.
Dans les galeries de la carrière des Aucrais, les Allemands ont stocké du matériel, et une maquette de V2 à l'échelle 1 avec un chariot de transport du missile.
Le 14 août, une erreur d'interprétation de signaux de fumée, fait que les bombardiers lourds du Bomber Command larguent leurs bombes sur les Canadiens et les Polonais à Haut-Mesnil faisant 400 victimes dont 65 morts.
