On the morning rush hour tube right now and look at this; a whole row of people reading books. It's a sad state of affairs when people can't afford mobile phones and have to resort to books. – at Paddington, London

‘What stays is not the book alone
but where you took it down,
how it felt in your hands...
how it holds wild seas
that knock the earth apart,
how words burn, freeze,
to break and heal your heart.’
Gillian Clarke - from In a Cardiff Arcade, 1952

‘Mullan’s in Royal Avenue, Erskine Mayne’s
Close to the City Hall, dusty corridors,
Aisles of books, elbow room and no more...
Each wee bookshop has closed, a lost cathedral
With its stained-glass window that depicts
A young poet opening his book of poems.’

"He represented his country like few others. A hero of 90 Tests and 64 ODIs. Among the finest ever produced on these shores, was Robert George Dylan Willis."
