Gerald Hugh Tyrwhitt-Wilson, 14th Baron Berners (18 September 1883 – 19 April 1950), also known as Gerald Tyrwhitt, was a British composer, novelist, painter and aesthete.
Apologia Pro Vita Sua
Berners himself once said that he would have been a better composer if he had accepted fewer lunch invitations. -- Wikipedia
Said Berners, “I’m here to confess
That the cause of my meager success,
Is that when they say ‘Stay,
For our luncheon today,'
I pretty much always say yes.”
