THANK YOU ANNE
YOU HAVE MADE OF LEON P. A BRITISH FUTURIST
THE PROPHECY HAS BEEN FULFILLED
PEACE TO THE MEMORIES OF JOHN AND RAY *BUTT* ENTIRE
POPERY AND VISUALITY *ONLAY*, 'VIV'
ISE IS SORRY
HAVENA READ "THE MAGIC VOLUME"
BLISS IT VERY WAS ETC
http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Stories-J-G-Ballard/dp/0393072622

OH! pleasant exercise of hope and joy!
For mighty were the auxiliars which then stood
Upon our side, we who were strong in love!
Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive,
But to be young was very heaven!--Oh! times,
In which the meagre, stale, forbidding ways
Of custom, law, and statute, took at once
The attraction of a country in romance!
When Reason seemed the most to assert her rights,
When most intent on making of herself
10
A prime Enchantress--to assist the work,
Which then was going forward in her name!

Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep;
Should I die before I wake,
I pray the Lord my soul to take.

also was. "I think I will not crash the car into someone but someone else will"

...But I'm still a fan of Ballard, and some are not.

His "Empire of the Sun" was OK, but his "Crystal World" was atrocious.
