Sunflowers and seashells and logarithmic spirals;
sweep of galaxies and the singing curve of the universe;
the oscillating wave thrumming in the nothingness
of every atom's heart.
Noise and riot, peace and quiet, all is music in this sphere.

On this day, 26 July 1937, British colonial authorities in Barbados secretly deported Clement Payne, a worker who was trying to start a trade union, to Trinidad where police were waiting to arrest him for possessing prohibited literature. He was originally charged with knowingly making a false declaration for stating he had been born in Barbados, whereas unknown to him he was actually born in Trinidad of Barbadian parents. He appealed his conviction on the 26th, and although his appeal was successful he was expelled from the island. In response, workers rioted, and strikes spread for several days.
