When wert thou borne desire?
In pompe and pryme of May,
By whom sweete boy wert thou begot?
By good conceit men say,
Tell me who was thy nurse?
Fresh youth in sugred ioy.
What was thy meate and dayly foode?
Sad sighes with great annoy.
What hadst thou then to drinke?
Vnfayned louers teares.
What cradle wert thou rocked in?
In hope deuoyde of feares.
"A flamboyant, egocentric character, Radcliffe-Brown cultivated the idiosyncratic. He was handsome, charming and a brilliant conversationalist, and moved in Sydney's highest social circles. He cultivated the arts and championed Edward de Vere, earl of Oxford, as the author of the works attributed to Shakespeare. Fearing that the Depression might lead to financial collapse, Radcliffe-Brown departed in 1931 to fill a chair at the University of Chicago, leaving his successors to solicit government and Rockefeller grants to save the Sydney department. In 1937 he moved to a new chair at Oxford, from which he retired in 1946. Survived by his daughter, he died in London on 24 October 1955. - in Australian Dictionary of Biography, Volume 11, (MUP), 1988, by Ian Hogbin.
