    An interesting story, Taylor, thanks! I don't know anything about Nova Scotia.

    I believe this poem has much to do with Dylan Thomas own turbulent youth and becoming a poet. Enjoyed itvery much!

    How good that you recovered his thread! Many of these poems were probably in memory of his deceased wife.

    "But when a soul, by choice and conscience, doth
    Throw out her full force on another soul,
    The conscience and the concentration both make
    mere life, Love." Beautiful definition of love!
