In June, 1954, the undergraduate editors of a Cambridge University magazine called Granta received a poem from someone signing himself Daniel Hearing. I vividly remember running my eye down the typescript and thinking that 'The Little Boys and the Seasons' was a very beautiful and enjoyable poem. I was eager to see it in print. And I print it again now, after twenty years, because I still think it is a beautiful and enjoyable poem, and because Ted Hughes, whose pseudonym Daniel Hearing was and who was a student of the University at the time, has mistakenly refrained from printing it again himself.
