This is a reprinting of a print from the portfolio, "Evelines, Headlines," done in collaboration with Furnival's first group of students and Ian Hamilton Finlay. According to Furnival, the portfolio sprang from a drawing that his daughter did of The Flying Scotsman - literally a Scotsman in a kilt with angel's wings. With respect to this poem, it might be a take-off on Basho's famous poem, Frog Pond Plop. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
