Simon Watson Taylor was an English intellectual who was born in Wallingford, in the historic county of Berkshire. He was briefly a poet and an author. But he was mostly a professional translator of French literature who also undertook editing. He initially subscribed to communism and then to surrealism. He subsequently subscribed to anarchism, upon which he rejected communism, after which he adopted pataphysics. However, upon becoming bored with pataphysicists, he rejected pataphysics and became a hippie.
