artists proof - edition of ten
inspired by the following lines of poetry and their explanation by the author.
Who is the third who walks always beside you?
When I count, there are only you and I together
But when I look ahead up the white road
There is always another one walking beside you
T S Eliot
The Waste Land
lines 359 - 362
The following lines were stimulated by the account of one of the Antarctic expeditions (I forget which, but I think one of Shackleton's); it was related that the party of explorers, at the extremity of their strength, had the constant delusion that there was one more member than could actually be counted.
