BLAST! Back

I posted a link to a facsimilie of Wyndham Lewis' twistedly brilliant journal BLAST! here a while back though said link sadly died . Here it is again via Online Books, other links  here, and here and here.

Here he is on barbers:-

"BLESS the HAIRDRESSER

He attacks Mother Nature for a small fee.

Hourly he ploughs heads for sixpence,

Scours chins and lips for threepence.

He makes systematic mercenary war on this

WILDNESS.

He trims aimless and retrograde growths

into CLEAN ARCHED SHAPES and

ANGULAR PLOTS.

BLESS this HESSIAN (or SILESIAN) EXPERT

correcting the grotesque anachronisms of our physique."

Great further news, Thames and Hudson are apparently doing a long overdue re-print in June of this year.
