My head is full of noise
My mind with stress & strain,
My heart knows no joys
My soul is full of pain.

These houses on Picton Street are a few steps from each other.
The one on the left was home to Sir Henry Irving (1838-1905) - the most famous actor of the 19th century.
The house on the right was (for a short while) home to Cary Grant (1904-1986) - one of the most famous actors of the 20th century.

Tom Stoppard possibly wrote a lot of your fave movie lines 👇

One of a select band of writers from any discipline to earn his own adjective – “Stoppardian” – in the Oxford English Dictionary, he delighted in the most improbable juxtapositions: philosophy and gymnastics in Jumpers (1972); early 19th-century landscape gardening and chaos theory in Arcadia (1993); rock music, dissident Czech academics and the love poetry of Sappho in Rock ’n’ Roll (2006).

From the depths of the Wikipedia on the character of Paul Dirac:
"Dirac was known among his colleagues for his precise and taciturn nature. His colleagues in Cambridge jokingly defined a unit called a "dirac", which was one word per hour."
What's your apparent flow in "diracs"?
