Le charme discret de mercia is a very different matter"...the isle is full of noises,

Might view it differently now. Le charme discret de mercia is a very different matterLast edited by Guest; 14-05-12, 16:54.

Ooh, said Gossamer Beynon, I don't care if he is .............. as long as he is all hooves and cucumbers, but I'll blow my trumpet for him
Some think he's a Cowboy, but he do have a Spring in his step but I'm not so sure about his Labour supporting quadroped
What C am I?
Edit: I think I was foolish to offer to post, everyone must be eating shortly and not word perfect re Dylan Thomas, I'll look in around 7.30 and then every half hour. Clue to get this done and dusted: It's one of Rob Cowan's faves ........... according to Cali. Just the single answerLast edited by Guest; 14-05-12, 18:19.

Excellent, something fun from Anna... Cowboys, Spring and Rob Cowan make me think of Copland and Rodeos and the Appalachians but I can't think how that could impinge on Under Milk Wood...
Little digging required..."...the isle is full of noises,

“GOSSAMER BEYNON: I don’t care if he is common
SECOND VOICE: she whispers to her salad-day deep self,
GOSSAMER BEYNON: I want to gobble him up. I don’t care if he does drop his aitches,
SECOND VOICE: she tells the stripped and mother-of-the-world big-beamed and Eve-hipped spring of her self,
GOSSAMER BEYNON: so long as he’s all cucumber and hooves.""...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.

Yes Caliban, the Gossamer was a reference to Copland, Fanfare for the Common Man. No, admit it, is this the first time you have read about Gossamer, did you continue to the little ginger man in the brown paper bag? So, you just need a cowboy with a spring and a four legged friend ...
