John Betjeman (right)
"The late poet laureate John Betjeman did not restrict his attentions to women.
"A newly discovered Betjeman poem entitled Sweets and Cake includes the phrase: 'the sturdy little arse of Teddy Sale' in a graphic and passionate encounter between a pair of schoolboys.
"The comic but increasingly explicit account of a heated fumble between Teddy, believed to be Betjeman's alter ego, and another schoolboy named Neville is thought to have been written during the poet’s undergraduate days at Oxford in the mid-1920s.
"The poem was unearthed much later in a college archive and appears in a new collection of previously unpublished Betjeman poems called Harvest Bells."

The Betjeman family: John, Candida, Paul and Penelope 1948 (Bassano).
"A crush on a dazzling young South African poet, Patrick Cullinan, provoked Betjeman to write, 'I feel in love so much that I felt no physical sensations at all beyond being drained of all power of limbs'.
"Betjeman enjoyed the company of gay men – most of his friends belonged to either the church or "the Homintern".
"He once wrote to a gay friend, Patrick Balfour, recommending the roller-skating rink at the Alexandra Palace as a cruising ground: "There are no less than five hundred cups of tea there and an introduction can be effected at once." "Cups of tea" was Betjeman's own Polari-speak for men."

"In 1954 the novelist Evelyn Waugh (1903-1966) set off from England on a cruise ship bound for Ceylon (now Sri Lanka).
"A week later, for reasons only apparent to himself, he disembarked at Port Said, on the Mediterranean coast of Egypt, and travelled overland to Cairo before flying to Colombo.
"The reasons behind this capriciousness are outlined in his 1957 quasi-autobiographical novel The Ordeal of Gilbert Pinfold.
"Mr Pinfold, a corpulent English author of some renown, finds the longed-for tranquillity of his own cruise to Ceylon shattered by the intrusion of an unseen cast of voices, musical bands, and a dog.
"Unable to distinguish these auditory hallucinations from reality he flees the ship in fear for his life and returns home to his long-suffering wife. When the voices follow him even to London he comes to realise what has happened."
