“Altarwise by owl-light in the half-way house
The gentleman lay graveward with his furies;
Abaddon in the hangnail cracked from Adam,
And, from his fork, a dog among the fairies,
The atlas-eater with a jaw for news,
Bit out the mandrake with to-morrow’s scream.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“Strew your gladness on earth’s bed,
So be merry, so be dead.”
—Charles Hamilton Sorley (1895–1915)
