Selcouth: Unfamiliar, unusual, rare; strange, marvellous, wonderful. Snuggery: A cosy or comfortable place, especially someone's private room or den. Gyles' poem this week was 'Musée des Beaux Arts' by 'W. H.

In Breughel's Icarus, for instance: how everything turns away Quite leisurely from the disaster; the ploughman may Have heard the splash, the forsaken cry, But for him it was not an important failure; the sun shone As it had to on the white legs disappearing into the green Water; and the expensive delicate ship that must have seen Something amazing, a boy falling out of the sky, had somewhere to get to and sailed calmly on.
