After a life-time's teaching Classics to the Upper-Sixth, at a very
minor Boy's Public School in Oxfordshire, the last of the 'DWEMs',
as he likes to describe himself, believes that he is fighting a
rear-guard action, defending and guarding a diminishing mythopoetic
world view on which his own personal values, and those of Western
Civilisation are built. And which are being cruelly tested, to
breaking-point when he is called to 'support' one of his own
'favourite' ex-students who has been arrested for 'Terrorist
Activities'. It is this, above all else which becomes the
Circumstances of Departure; his own and of others, in one way or
another. (DWEM was coined by Bernard Knox, to describe Classicists
as a species: Dead White European Males.)
