I am very fond of RS Thomas

"Clinging to my position, witnessing the seasonal migrations, I must try to content myself with the perception that love and truth have no wings, but are resident like me here, practising their sub-song quietly in the face of the bitterest of winters." From Retirement by R.S. Thomas

“Yet in your acres, With no medals to be won, You were on the old side of life, Helping it in through the dark door Of earth and beast, quietly repairing The rents of history with your hands.” (R.S. Thomas, For the Record, poem about a farmer in wartime)

It’s not a good look is it, barring our National Poet? Plaid, this is not a good look on you. For what it’s worth, the poem is really quite beautiful. R S Thomas would, I feel, have approved.

space I kept on arriving at my departures. I left no stones unraised, but always wings were tardy to start. In ante-rooms of the spirit I suffered the anaesthetic of time and came to with my hurt unmended. Where are you? I shouted, growing old in the interval between here and now.
