Music for the Heart

This afternoon I watched a dramatized version of A Child's Christmas In Wales (1955) by Dylan Thomas the renowned poet. I didn't manage to watch the program consistently as there was a phone call and then a couple, very kindly, brought a ready-to-eat festive lunch for me. When I eventually returned to the TV I heard, .......'I said some words to the close and holy darkness, and then I slept' . Those were the closing lines of the story!
They speak to me and I hope they speak to you.

More and more I appreciate the 'music' of language and the facility it has to convey that which is not well approached through words.
