\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A radio drama, then a play, then a film, Under Milk Wood is a fictional story inviting the audience to listen to the innermost dreams and thoughts of a fictitious Welsh town called Llareggub, (buggerall spelt backwards). Better seen or listened to than read IMO. But these few words touched me as they are quite ambiguous and are uncannily reminiscent of a state of war.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Every morning when I wake,<\/em>
\nDear Lord, a little prayer I make,<\/em>
\nO please do keep Thy lovely eye<\/em>
\nOn all poor creatures born to die<\/em><\/p>\n

And every evening at sun-down<\/em>
\nI ask a blessing on the town,<\/em>
\nFor whether we last the night or no<\/em>
\nI’m sure is always touch-and-go.<\/em><\/p>\n

We are not wholly bad or good<\/em>
\nWho live our lives under Milk Wood,<\/em>
\nAnd Thou, I know, wilt be the first<\/em>
\nTo see our best side, not our worst.<\/em><\/p>\n

O let us see another day!<\/em>
\nBless us all this night, I pray,<\/em>
\nAnd to the sun we all will bow<\/em>
\nAnd say, good-bye \u2013 but just for now!<\/em><\/p>\n

Dylan Thomas (1914 – 1953)<\/p>\n
