A writer is inspired to verse by watching a Chinese painter weave his magic with brushstrokes of colour and visions of future.

Memories of Shanbei come in shades of black and white.
Amid the stones of Oxford past and present he paints it.

in the mind of the artist. Fingers grasp the brush to request
the muses for movement, swift and light.
