Touched
is a place for poetry, music and even the odd artwork, the online home
of The Children, John Gibbens and Armorel Weston. Now the tipi is pitched
in the deep south of
London,
between the Dulwich oaks, the Gipsy Hill and the Crystal Palace transmitter.

- The
Gun Site An allotment poem: lines
from the beginning of Spring
No
agitators, no clubs, no epidemical errors, ever were, or will be,
fatal to social order in any nation. Nothing but the guilt of the
upper classes, wanton, accumulated, reckless, and merciless, ever
overthrows them. Of such guilt they have now much to answer for
let them look to it in time.
Ruskin
