“cried as he died, fearing at last the spheres’
Last sound, the world going out without a breath:
Too proud to cry, too frail to check the tears,
And caught between two nights, blindness and death.”

“Surely, of all creatures we eat, we are most brutal to snails. Helix optera is dug out of the earth where he has been peacefully enjoying his summer sleep, cracked like an egg, and eaten raw, presumably alive. Or boiled in oil. Or roasted in the hot ashes of a wood fire.... If God is a snail, Bosch’s depictions of Hell are going to look like a vicarage tea-party.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“Although the masters make the rules
For the wise men and the fools
I got nothing, Ma, to live up to.”
—Bob Dylan [Robert Allen Zimmerman] (b. 1941)
“I know
No answer to the children’s cry
Of echo’s answer and the man of frost
And ghostly comets over the raised fists.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
