Great Regulars: "To the last feast

of isolation, self-invited,/They flock," [W.H.] Auden writes, and I want to applaud because that is exactly what gamblers do; they invite themselves; it is their decision to gamble. They flock, because they are weak-willed and many.

from Frieda Hughes: The Sunday Times: Losers and limbo
