LL: As I read this sonnet I was struck by the intensity and ferocity of the words. It felt potent, mesmerising and intoxicating. I was reminded of the sensation I had standing in front of this bonfire I filmed in Wimbledon one very cold November evening. Staring into the fiery shapes and hearing the crackles burning into a frenzy had a hypnotic effect which I feel lends itself to this tortuous sonnet.
