It's the only one I'm aware of that's actually about poetics.

Thanks, Skip, I will have to watch or listen to 'Under Milkwood' at some point. But, as yet, I can't fit it to that.

Hobbes' Choice wrote:Why not just take him at his word.

He says "I will will teach you infinities...

The greatest poem in the English language is the present tense of the verb to be... I AM.. THOU ART.

He's not reciting Dylan Thomas.

Listen again.

I'm no expert by it certainly doesn't sound like Dylan Thomas to me. I think it's just Richard Burton being Richard Burton.

Hollyoak was a Victorian social reformer on trial for saying he doesn't believe in God. Last person in England to be tried for blasphemy.

? Should be Holyoake as described in humanism.org

Yes, not Dylan.

Nope. Unless you see Richard Burton in all his parts...like John Wayne.

I think Hobbes will know what I mean. (Or maybe not).

I am telling you to listen to the clip again. Again. And no need to f****** swear.
I've already said what I think it is. And it isn't Dylan Thomas.

U r so good at being Hobbsy.
Never mind. If you can't listen properly that is your misfortune. If you can listen carefully and choose to misrepresent what is said in a clip, then bugger off.
