    “By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
    Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled,

    And fired the shot heard round the world.”

    “Shall I still be love’s house on the widdershin earth,
    Woe to the windy masons at my shelter?

    Lie all unknowing of the grave sin-eater.”
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
