Iain Duff

Xanadu, by Coleridge       Iain Duff by T. D.

In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree :
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea.
     
In Toulouse France does Iain Duff
Solve matrix problems high an' tough
Where Sparse the multifrontal ran
Writ down in parallel Fortran
Upon a C-less Sun.
