I had finished this before Jonathan Creek, so it must have been quite easy. I haven't worked out the entire quotation I'm afraid, or found the poet, but am going to have a look now.

For us Scots (a) the poet is hugely famous (b) Argyle should be Argyll and (c) we wuz robbed in the rugby today.

My first, and last, Syd Lexis Listener. 2014 seems to be marking the passing of a whole generation of setters.

Very gentle, very pleasant - a nice Sunday afternoon puzzle.

A new quotation for me (although I have read works by the author) and I thoroughly approve of the action it enjoins us to take.

aldanna

Filled the grid fairly easily but still haven't located the quotation (doesn't seem to matter) and found this thread by a very circuitous route.

Nice puzzle - everything fited together very neatly in the end, though I may have to wait until the solution is published to discover the identity of the poet. Sorry to see another valedictory crossword.

For anyone looking for a further challenge, there is an interesting-looking Schadenfreude in the CAM magazine, which can be found online here: http://www.alumni.cam.ac.uk/magazine/cam-71 (the crossword is at the back).

Very sorry to see another death. I can't say I share the enthusiasm of some for this crossword. The quote seemed rather dull and obscure and I also could only find it in the legal article.

Teuchter2 I had not realised Jonathan Creek was so good at crosswords, although I suppose it should be expected. But well done for beating him!

Philoctetes

Like last week, not everything in the preamble was essential - you could make a stab at completing the quote without finding it, and the rest followed quite simply. So the quote was acceptable. But if it had been critical? Pace the Scots, an obscure author and poet, and a quotation that can't be found in the standard references? Even, really, on the internet?
