the author of a poem, about Oxford, which ends something like

'and every man should know and soon
his golden Oxford afternoon'

I was watching Lewis and remembering a day I spent in Oxford many years ago...

it will drive me mad if i can't find the rest of it,, have tried googling but 'Oxford poetry' brings up too much
