Ronald Blythe mourns the loss of a knowledgeable dean SUMMER rain. It falls, not for minutes, but for hours, beating the borders into submission, knocking the hollyhocks for six, dashing the scent from the roses. At first, it leaps up from the hard earth, but soon it penetrates. Its noise is like a distant army [...]
