    My lute awake! perform the last
    Labour that thou and I shall waste,

    I see you boys of summer in your ruin.
    Man in his maggot’s barren.
    And boys are full and foreign in the pouch.
    I am the man your father was.
    We are the sons of flint and pitch.
    O see the poles are kissing as they cross.
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
