“While Michael Angelo’s Sistine roof,
His “Morning” and his “Night” disclose
How sinew that has been pulled tight,
Or it may be loosened in repose,
Can rule by supernatural right
Yet be but sinew.”

“I turn over a new leaf every day. But the blots show through.”
—Keith Waterhouse, British screenwriter, Willis Hall, and John Schlesinger. Billy Fisher (Tom Courtenay)
