    There’s nothing the British like better than a bloke who comes from nowhere, makes it, and then gets clobbered.
    Melvyn Bragg (b. 1939)

    I will be steel!
    I will build a steel bridge over my need!
    I will build a bomb shelter over my heart!
    But my future is a secret.
    It is as shy as a mole.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
