Louis Wain Fact #59:
"In writing on his art style, Wain emphasised that he always started with the ears: “if I try any other way the proportions are certain to go wrong. Why, I do not know.” This is seen in the only known footage of him drawing and might also be alluded to in this late artwork."

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!”
