Two glimpses from the Guardian. Today, the sublime: Tom Stoppard on five letters from A.E. Housman manages to be perceptive without being intrusive, and also reveals that Housman introduced crème brûlée into the kitchens of Trinity College, Cambridge, where he was Professor of Latin.

Yesterday, G.P. Taylor on the beauties of Yorkshire: "It is an honour," he says, "to stand on the cliffs at Whitby and watch as the sun sets into the sea;" - well, maybe, at this time of year, when the sun sets briefly in the north-west.
