THE SLEEPING ARTIST
What would you do if you suddenly 1 …. that you could draw while you 2 …? When Lee Hadwin was 16, he woke up to find that the floors and walls in his house 3… with amazing drawings.

CRUEL City, London, London,
Where, duped slaves of devils' creeds,
Men and women desperate, undone,
Dream such dreams, and do such deeds:
London, London, cruel city,
By day serpent, by night vampire —
God, in thy great pity, pity,
Give us light — though it be fire!
Лондон
Жестокий Город, London, Лондон,
Где, обманывают рабов дьяволом вероучения,
Где мужчины и женщины отчаянные, отменно,
Мечты как мечты, и делаются такие деяния:
Лондон, Лондон, жестокий город,
Днем змея, ночью вампир —
Бог, в своей Великой жалости, жалости,
Дайте нам свет — пусть он и будет огонь!
