That medicine will help. Impress Them with your sage psychiatry. ‘Tell them that I’m manic, that These phases alternate with gloom. When others stood for Life, I sat. Let these statements fill the room. ‘And if perhaps you find one doubt, Resist your observations, then, Let the final clincher out: Tell them that I favored men. ‘But when you’ve thus disposed of me, And kept yourself from facing death, Do not think we’re finished. See, I await your dying breath.’ Richard Geyer aris 1856 Alphabet of Death ’s , repro P Frame from Hans Holbein Editorial Welcome to Newsletter 14. It’s two years since the last issue – poor form for an annual! – but here’s evidence that something’s still astir on the Ship of Fools. Members will know that following John Beddoes’ resignation as chairman the Society is in a period of transition. The meeting on 13th March resolved that we will continue to pursue our original aim to publicise and promote the work of Thomas Lovell Beddoes. But there are still difficulties to overcome, the most urgent being to appoint a new chairman and secretary. This must be done at the AGM on 25th September (1 pm at The Devereux, 20 Devereux Court, Essex Street, The Strand, London WC2R 3JJ). We hope that by holding the meeting in London as many members as possible will be able to attend and join the discussion: the Society needs you.
