Happy Birthday Mr. Hughes!

GIRL IN A SUICIDAL LANDSCAPE

A pessimist and an undercover pisshead bitter about the faults inherent in reality. A hopeless romantic that's been worn-away by those she loves. Formerly ambitious and driven but no longer able to ignore the fact that class-structure and old money means she will always be a non-entity, a good natured soul that has realised that one good turn usually deserves a massive punch to the metaphorical kidney. Basically a bitter jaded fucker who tends to drone-on in a self absorbed way about how catastrophic life is – usually offensively – because she realises it is far better to get things off her chest than pick up a sniper’s rifle and shoot whoever gets in her way through the chin.

Examination at the Womb-door

Who is stronger than hope? Death.
Who is stronger than the will? Death.
Stronger than love? Death.
Stronger than life? Death.

But who is stronger than Death?
Me, evidently.

Ted Hughes (1930 – 1998)

Thanks for that...we read Ted Hughes at school, then again at A-Level and I'm so pleased I got the opportunity 'cos some of his poetry was great, and I was so sad when he died; although it's good to know that he had such a fun, healthy outlook on 'the great equaliser'. xx
