Oh Cyril... It seems that today, 9 June 1959, Mr Nash was hoping his young lady customer, Marianne, would pay his bookshop in Bishopsgate a visit at lunchtime. And it seems that she didn't turn up...
Today I shall see you
And you will enter
With your sweet decisive step
And I shall lose long moments
Seeking other people's wants
While you are where all time,
All seeking ends for me.
And soon, so soon, you'll say
Those farewell words inconsequent to you
But which do sentence me
To stay with fantasies of memory
Until your presence brings again
Those moments of reality
9th June, 1959
You did not come....behold this dreamer
