Scope and Contents

On the right side of the collage, a running abstracted figure made from old papers with black and white engravingsis depicted. The same figure made from fragmented text appears on the left side of the collage. The poem reads: "At last a letter, - and a prospect; - a prospect of pleasure - to merge with pleasure after pleasure - night acceptance. Night saw her hasten towards a man---a corpulent man," This poem probably signifies Phillips meeting his wife Fiona in the night after work at their house in Oxford. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
