"Poem typed on a label on the reverse, signed by the artist:
In Childwood we would often see a shimmering angel in the clouds or clothed in shrouds the demons of coming storm.
In awe, build piling mountains borne as palaces for Godly Kings: surmounting all, the wisping flight with fairy wings … to realms that held, still hold the mystery of our deepest dreams.
