THE OTHER SIDE for Matthew Rice (1906-1964) Scanning my Catholic granda’s Mass card, suddenly death seems more exciting, the natural next step. “We have loved him in life, let us Not forget him in death”. From St. Ambrose, who lay in his cradle dribbled with honey from bees who had blessed him with their liquid gold, giving his father some high hopes for his eloquence and honeyed tongue. Then there’s ‘Ambrosia’, the nectar of the gods. And then there’s ‘Ambrosia Creamed Rice’, the tinned working-class dish we had to enjoy – urban frogspawn, the cheap clotted water of working-class life. “We have loved him in life, let us Not forget him in death”. And let us not forget the storm and the strife. - Adrian Rice
