    Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
    Adder’s fork and blind-worm’s sting,
    Lizard’s leg and owlet’s wing,
    For a charm of powerful trouble,
    Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.”

    “Who blows death’s feather? What glory is colour?
    I blow the stammel feather in the vein.

    The secret child, I shift about the sea
    Dry in the half-tracked thigh.”
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
