Drought Orders

Radcliffe Square, with a student determinedly poling a wheeled 
            punt over the cobbles. A man reading a newspaper stares at him. 
            Both his paper, and a newsboard, proclaim "Drought", "No Rain",
            "No Water", "Thames Empty". The Radcliffe Camera is gazing 
            down in mild surprise, the "portholes" in its dome being its eyes.
