Gatherings | Crowds | Festivities
Richard was a shy and retiring man, but he recounts in his memoir how the celebrations in his native Bradford spilled out over the streets with huge energy and a certain wildness. He loved to watch them from a safe distance (usually through a window) and his inner being responded to the mood. He loved to observe how the clustering of people and crowds added intensity to a room or landscape.
