People who inspire me

Dylan Thomas, english poet, and yes, Robert Zimmerman changed his name to Bob Dylan because of him






















Fear not the waking world, my mortal
Fear not the flat, synthetic blood,
Nor the heart in the ribbing metal,
Fear not the tread, the seeded milling,
The trigger and scythe, the bridal blade,
Nor the flint in the lover's mauling.


Man of my flesh, the jawbone riven,
Know now the flesh's lock and vice,
And the cage for the scythe-eyed raver.
Know, O my bone, the jointed lever,
Fear not the screws that turn the voice,
And the face to the driven lover.

(From "All All and All")
