Mr. Day believes that Britain's international banking business is more of a liability than an asset to our economy and that we should withdraw as quickly as possible from our over-extended financial commitments to the sterling area.
Part 2
by Kathleen Raine
' We have the same respect for Blake's philosophy,' T. S. Eliot once wrote, ' that we have for an ingenious piece of home-made furniture: we admire the man who has put it together out of the odds and ends about the house.' Miss Raine shows that Blake's reading was more systematic than has usually been supposed and that his mythology was far from being a cranky invention of his own: What he has attempted, in his prophetic writings, is to give a new expression, appropriate to industrial England, to the ageless figures of the gods.'
