Portrait of the Late Mrs Partridge — Leonora Carrington
Portrait of the Late Mrs Partridge, 1947 by Leonora Carrington (1917-2011)
Blow, winds, and crack your cheeks! rage! blow!
Blow, winds, and crack your cheeks! rage! blow!
You cataracts and hurricanoes, spout
Till you have drench’d our steeples, drown’d the cocks!
You sulphurous and thought-executing fires,
Vaunt-couriers to oak-cleaving thunderbolts,
Singe my white head! And thou, all-shaking thunder,
Smite flat the thick rotundity o’ the world!
Crack nature’s moulds, an germens spill at once,
That make ingrateful man!
