Just one tulip, once...as far as I recall, in a London restaurant, or was it at Yeats' place in Woburn Walk, on one of WBY's soirees, to draw attention to himself. Someone will have the date and occasion... Cheers John *************************************************** John L. Makin Faculty Liaison Officer, Education, LIS, Nottingham Trent University.
