Louis Wain Fact #26:
Since Wain's mother was a church embroiderer, his father was a textile trader, and his namesake maternal grandfather was a tapestry designer, it’s likely that his later psychedelic patterns were influenced or inspired by the cloth patterns he spent his childhood surrounded by.

And the branches are rustling a murmurous rune,
The Owls sit in council, like prophets of Fate,
Discussing grave questions of Kingdom and State.
They wink and they blink, and they blink and they wink,
Till midnight grows black and commands them to flit
With a “Shoo! To-whoo!” and a “Whirr! Tu-whit!”
