I saw Stubbs' obituary but was unable to go to the funeral. I remember an incident from the mid 1960's which may amuse you. Probably after one of Kit's Private views in London, I left the Queens Elm to find another watering hole with George, John Fairfax, Kit, Stubbs and David Wright amongst others. We were planning to go into the Goat in Boots when Stubbs and Wright decided that Finch's on the other side of the road would be sure to serve draught Guiness and that is what they needed, urgently. John and David, the one deaf, the other blind and both very drunk, were well past caring about traffic and were on an urgent mission. George and I stood on the kerb watching the two of them, arms around each other for guidance, weave gently down the centre of the road. ' I think we should turn away now' said George, ' or we may have to witness the death of two of the best hopes for English poetry in the future'.
I am glad to say that the traffic showed a proper respect for the Muse and they were spared.
Best regards.
