Friday 26 December 1975
With Trudy on a beach. Talking of love. She’s trying to convert me. I see her the next night. ‘See what I mean?’ I argue, saying something about ‘changeless as the sea.’
Left fishing rod on beach. I go back. The
teacher tells me it’s raining. I’ve left a history book there. It might be
ruined. I go back and get them. I see John and Mick. They’ve just been to see
the monster. I say that sometimes it’s got 4 eyes and sometimes one giant ONE.

Also Dreamt of Lee Harwood’s first wife Marion (I’ve never met her). [Lee's first wife wasn’t called Marion; but Marion was a later friend, dedicatee
of ‘Love in the Organ Loft’ (1967) and of other poems (some that he hadn’t yet written in
1975, of course).]
