Famous quotes containing the words thomas and/or fuller:

    The force that through the green fuse drives the flower
    Drives my green age; that blasts the roots of trees
    Is my destroyer.
    And I am dumb to tell the crooked rose
    My youth is bent by the same wintry fever.
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    Water inflated the belly
    Of Hart Crane, and of Shelley.
    Coleridge was a dope.
    Southwell died on a rope.
    —Roy Fuller (b. 1912)
