“Neither by night’s ancient fear,
The parting of hat from hair,
Pursed lips at the receiver,
Shall I fall to death’s feather.
By these I would not care to die,
Half convention and half lie.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“Well, for us, in history where goodness is a rare pearl, he who was good almost takes precedence over he who was great.”
