The starting point was the first poem, “In the orange bed Miss Ollipester lies...”, which was published in 1945. Probably not very long after this Moore wrote “Outside the errant window weeps the yew...”. He added to the typescript a hand-written note pointing out that this is a completely different poem from its predecessor..

Un altra incredibile opera di Nichola Moore, dieci versioni della stessa poesia, amorosamente raccolte da Peter Riley : http://www.aprileye.co.uk/TheOrangeBed.pdf
THE ORANGE BED
Chocolate of rose, chocolate of violet
Finds each its way to that down-curving mouth;
A soft white hand hangs down
Over the dropping book, the tired eyes close
On thoughts of murder and wild dreams of youth...
Nicholas Moore
La cioccolata alla rosa, la cioccolata alla violetta
trovano entrambe la strada per quelle labbra appena incurvate;
Una soffice mano candida sospesa
sul libro che cade, i tuoi occhi stanchi chiusi
su pensieri di morte e selvaggi sogni di gioventù...
traduzione di Alessandro Panciroli
