Evelyn Waugh, d. 10 April 1966, R.I.P.

The Times newspaper in its regular  “On This Day” column includes this memory of Evelyn Waugh’s death along with a photo of Waugh in a tweed jacket, holding onto a picket fence in one hand and a cigar in the other:

…[I]n 1966 Evelyn Waugh, the author of Decline and Fall (1928), A Handful of Dust (1934) and Brideshead Revisited (1945), died aged 62, after attending a Latin Mass, a liturgy close to his heart.
