NM: I'm remined by a painting in the corner here, which is a sort of sa-
tire of a Pre_Raphaelite painting, that I always have thought that
those Victorian painters, the Pre-Raphaelites, were an influenece to
the texture of your song writing.
KB: Yes, yes. I think that was particularly in my very early teens I was
very enchanted by the whole romance of it, yes. They find their way
into songs, the imagery. I think that's what happens: something at-
tracts you because of its imagery and you digest it and it comes up in
a song. I think that's how artists work; they are like magpies, pick-
ing up little bits of gold and storing them away.
Who were the Pre-Raphaelites? (And how are they related to Breugal?)
