Louis Wain Fact #45:
Upon graduating from the West London School of Art, he didn't go straight into commercial artwork, and instead became a teacher there. He was apparently quite a poor one, who was too shy to interact with students and himself felt that he was not gaining enough knowledge from the experience.

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!”
