read this very interesting biography of Mervyn Peake I came across a moving pencil portrait of Dylan Thomas to sleep. It is strange that in the good book Ferris l 'Friendship and Thomas Peake is so underrated. At this proposito riporto un preziosissimo estratto da un'e-mail inviatami l'anno scorso da Sebastian Peake, primogenito di Mervyn:
"Yes, Dylan Thomas, who regularly borrowed money from my mother, The Godess as he called her, but did not usually pay it back, would as a quid pro quo offer to take me to the kindergarten in Chelsea where I went. As we walked along he would tell me wonderful stories in his marvelous, mellifluous Welsh voice.
Stories of pirates and adventures of Highwaymen usually dominated."
Stories of pirates and adventures of Highwaymen usually dominated."
(Sebastian Peake, 18 novembre 2008)
