Dylan Thomas
It snowed last year too: I made a snowman and my brother knocked it down and I knocked my brother down and then we had tea.
Dylan Thomas
In the beginning was the word, the word That from the solid bases of the light Abstracted all the letters of the void.
Dylan Thomas
This world is half the devil's and my own, Daft with the drug that's smoking in a girl and curling round the bud that forks her eye.
