Poem of the day
Vain Hope
by Ernest Dowson
Sometimes, to solace my sad heart, I say,
Though late it be, though lily-time be past,
Though all the summer skies be overcast,
Haply I will go down to her, some day,
And cast my rests of life before her feet,
That she may have her will of me, being so sweet
And none gainsay!
...
Read complete poem
Live fast, die young, and leave a good-looking corpse.
James Cagney

Performance Factory: Get in day for The Little Mermaid at The Dylan Thomas Theatre! How exciting! Only 3 days to go!
Timeform: 135 - Manduro
Manduro readily brushed aside a top-class rival in Dylan Thomas in the Prince of Wales's Stakes, showing a fine turn of foot to quicken into the lead, and he was always holding on under a largely hands-and-heels ride
Pamela Petro: It’s true! The Dylan Thomas Summer School in Creative Writing starts in 12 days in Lampeter! I wish everyone I know and love could join us!
Molly: Thomas and Dylan are both in NY.. pls

— Dylan Thomas
