Washington isn't a city, it's an abstraction.

Dylan Thomas

And death shall have no dominion. Under the windings of the sea They lying long shall not die windily Twisting on racks when sinews give way, Strapped to a wheel, yet they shall not break Faith in their hands shall snap in two, And the unicorn evils run them through Split all ends up they shan't crack And death shall have no dominion.
Dylan Thomas
Image
Out of the sighs a little comes, But not of grief, for I have knocked down that Before the agony the spirit grows, Forgets, and cries A little comes, is tasted and found good.
Dylan Thomas
Image
My education was the liberty I had to read indiscriminately and all the time, with my eyes hanging out.
Dylan Thomas

And time cast forth my mortal creature To drift or drown upon the seas Acquainted with the salt adventure Of tides that never touch the shores. - I who was rich was made the richer By sipping at the the vine of days.

Break in the sun till the sun breaks down, And death shall have no dominion.
