[ilds] heraldic universe

[James Gifford]

It's also reprinted in Robin Fedden's book /Personal Landscape/, which 
isn't too hard to dig up here & there (I don't recall if it's credited 
to Durrell or not in the book, but it is in the original journal, at 
least to L.D.):

Fedden, Robin. Ed. /Personal Landscape: An Anthology of Exile/. London: 
Editions Poetry London, 1945.

Watch for a new trade edition of Durrell's essays next year as well, 
which will contain it.

Cheers,
James
