R. S. Thomas Quote

We live in our own world,
A world that is too small
For you to stoop and enter
Even on hands and knees,
The adult subterfuge.


"Children's Song" - Song at the Year's Turning (1955)


We live in our own world, A world that is too small For you to stoop and enter Even on hands and knees, The adult subterfuge.

We live in our own world, A world that is too small For you to stoop and enter Even on hands and knees, The adult subterfuge.

We live in our own world, A world that is too small For you to stoop and enter Even on hands and knees, The adult subterfuge.

We live in our own world, A world that is too small For you to stoop and enter Even on hands and knees, The adult subterfuge.
