his science knows his nature [detail]
his objects draw his attention
his company shapes his character
Graham Budgett: fee-fie-foe-fum 1990
- images and words concerning men -
his heroes execute his will
his tongue speaks his mind
his story reads history
his letters write his wrongs
his future holds his present
his sex precedes his passion
his nature consumes his time
his dread haunts his fancy
his reason leaves his senses
his home secures his person
his life supports his system
his thought erects his stature
his objects draw his attention
his industry fuels his need
his company shapes his character
his trade deals his fortune
his desire imagines his fate
his health threatens his joy
his love sustains his cover
his gift harbours his grudge
his vision penetrates his subject
his expression mimics his death
his politics remains his privilege
his home secures his person
his love sustains his cover
his dread haunts his fancy
