Drowning not Waving<\/h1>
\"\"<\/a>
‘Drowning II’ – “Drowning not Waving” – Leamington Spa Gallery<\/figcaption><\/figure>

Ruth produced a series of three dimensional prints inspired by the Stevie Smith poem ‘Not Waving but Drowning’<\/p>

Nobody heard him, the dead man,
But still he lay moaning:
I was much further out than you thought
And not waving but drowning.<\/p>

Poor chap, he always loved larking
And now he’s dead
It must have been too cold for him his heart gave way,
They said.<\/p>

Oh, no no no, it was too cold always
(Still the dead one lay moaning)
I was much too far out all my life
And not waving but drowning.<\/p>

Stevie Smith 1957<\/p>
