In a wide variety of styles, forms and moods, they were written by a man in middle life, and reflect the changes in contemporary beliefs and the tension between society as it was in the mid-twentieth century and the social habits and presuppositions experienced at the end of it.
Taken as a whole, the collection reveals an interplay of contrasting responses to the frustrations, hazards and delights of human existence, each poem qualifying others in a manner that by implication converts monolithic attitudes into complementary relativities - a function of poetry that can, in Samuel Johnson's phrase, enable responsive readers 'the better to enjoy life and the better to endure it'. The Flash of Weathercocks intends to do just that.
