thunder in my hair


A thrill of thunder in my hair:
Though blackening clouds be plain,
Still I am stung and startled
By the first drop of the rain:
Romance and pride and passion pass
And these are what remain.


― G.K. Chesterton (and me)

  4. Chesterton and Belloc were great friends and collaborators. That makes him essential reading, in my book!
