    “Agatha, come away from there, child. It’s dangerous to eavesdrop!”

    “Time can never mend

    The careless whispers of a good friend

    To the heart and mind

    Ignorance is kind

    There’s no comfort in the truth

    Pain is all you’ll find"

    all have a bit more info about this artist (again if truncated, askart.com can be read in full for free on Fridays), perhaps in addition to what’s pointed to by the title URL. First work by him used here.
