    and bow my head to that meadow
    the breast, the melon in it....”

    “I know we’re not saints or virgins or lunatics; we know all the lust and lavatory jokes, and most of the dirty people; we can catch buses and count our change and cross the roads and talk real sentences. But our innocence goes awfully deep, and our discreditable secret is that we don’t know anything at all, and our horrid inner secret is that we don’t care that we don’t.”
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    “Dates are stupidly annoying—what we want is not dates but taste;Myet we are uncomfortable without them.”
