HULME

It was possible to be VORTICIST and NOT PAINT. TE Hulme for example, was a writer

and PROMINENT PERSONALITY FROM STAFFORDSHIRE.

He was a philosopher and poet although he preferred to think of himself as MUSCULAR TOUGH from the NORTH with a mission to BEAT UP ANTI-VIVISECTIONISTS.

He was unfortunately RIPPED APART in a large and loud explosion on the western front in the first world war, at a battery near where LEWIS was stationed in 1917. This was a VORTICIST tragedy as he was writing a new LIFE work which BURST into TATTERS as it was in his TOP POCKET.

It is best to remember him for his NOBLE BRASHNESS, his IMAGIST poetry, his classicism, and his UNPETURBABLE SUPPORT for LEWIS unless women were involved. LEWIS went out with HULME'S girl. ONLY ONCE. LEWIS was left HANGING upside down by his trouser turnups from the railings of SOHO SQUARE after Hulme FOUND OUT.
