“Less than five hundred souls inhabit the three quaint streets and the few narrow by-lanes and scattered farmsteads that constitute this small, decaying watering-place which may, indeed, be called a “backwater of life” without disrespect to its natives who possess, to this day, a salty individuality of their own.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

“She has not grown uncivil
As narrow natures would
And called the pleasures evil
Happier days thought good....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
