Re: QOTD: Monday, July 8th
Fern Hill by Dylan Thomas. There is a very good explanation of it here: https://www.litcharts.com/poetry/dylan-thomas/fern-hill. If you just want to read it, try this link: https://www.brinkerhoffpoetry.org/poems/fern-hill.

There is just one line that stands out as less than perfect to me: "All the sun long it was running, it was lovely..." My Anglo Saxon soul cries out, "No, don't tell me - show me it was lovely." But, of course, Thomas was Welsh and, in the Welsh accent, the word "lovely" sounds and means so much more than it does on the lips of an Englishman.
