The Circus Animals' Desertion by William Butler Yeats:

                             "Now that my ladder's gone
I must lie down where all the ladders start
In the foul rag and bone shop of the heart."

The Richmond Review, Book Review, Bruce Chatwin by Nicholas Shakespeare "The long journey that encompassed Chatwin's short life receives its first full exposition in this remarkable book. Not only has Shakespeare retraced the maze of Chatwin's globetrotting, he has succeeded in producing a coherent portrait of a man whose history was only available hitherto through his own inventions and embellishments (the efforts of Nicholas Murray and Susannah Clapp notwithstanding). And although this book is pitched as an authorised biography, Shakespeare refuses to pull any punches."
