A reading suggested by a rather famous fellow (who insists he is not famous but I assure you...he is accomplished):

Briggflatts I imagine is about as important as this 'ourville with words as obscure to some as are his. Slag and dump, muck and blue eyed Mexican.

Lan would suggest such things I might add. Cloud's Hill, Tehran and all of that. Those who have some connection to the things that I am connected to.

Kismet. Karma. Fate.

Poets and all their nuances.

"Rocks happen by chance." -Bunting

"Washed stones strike
in salty kilns the others,
the smooth and rocky
exile, this forgery
and treason*." -Porter

Bunting on Islam:

"Sooner or later we must absorb Islam if our own culture is not to die of anaemia."

...and yes...he is rather delightful and no, I haven't mowed the lawn.
