-To begin at the beginning.

0:03:360:03:38

-It is spring,

-moonless night in the small town...

0:03:550:03:58

-..starless and bibleblack,

-the cobblestreets silent...

0:03:580:04:04

-..and the hunched,

-courters' and rabbits' wood...

0:04:040:04:07

-..limping invisible

-down to the sloeblack...

0:04:080:04:11

-..slow, black, crowblack

-fishingboat bobbing sea.

0:04:110:04:17

-The houses are blind as moles...

0:04:180:04:21

-..though moles see fine to-night

-in the snouting, velvet dingles...

0:04:210:04:26

-..or blind as Captain Cat

-there in the muffled middle...

0:04:260:04:30

-..by the pump and the town clock,

-the shops in mourning...

0:04:300:04:33

-..the Welfare Hall in widows' weeds.

0:04:330:04:36

-And all the people of the lulled

-and dumbfound town are sleeping now.

0:04:360:04:41

-Hush, the babies are sleeping...

0:04:420:04:45

-..the farmers, the fishers,

0:04:500:04:53

-..the undertaker and the fancy

-woman, drunkard, dressmaker...

0:04:530:04:57

-..preacher, policeman, the webfoot

-cocklewomen and the tidy wives.

0:04:570:05:02

-Young girls lie bedded soft

-or glide in their dreams...

0:05:050:05:09

-..with rings and trousseaux...

0:05:090:05:12

-..bridesmaided by glowworms down

-the aisles of the organplaying wood.

0:05:130:05:18

-The boys are dreaming wicked...

0:05:230:05:26

-..or of the bucking ranches of

-the night and the jollyrodgered sea.

0:05:270:05:32

-And the anthracite statues

-of the horses sleep in the fields...

0:05:320:05:36

-..and the cows in the byres...

0:05:370:05:39

-..and the dogs

-in the wetnosed yards...

0:05:390:05:43

-..and the cats nap

-in the slant corners or lope sly...

0:05:430:05:47

-..streaking and needling,

-on the one cloud of the roofs.

0:05:480:05:52

-You can hear the dew falling,

-and the hushed town breathing.

0:05:530:05:58

-Only your eyes are unclosed...

0:06:000:06:02

-..to see the black and folded town

-fast, and slow, asleep.

0:06:020:06:07

-And you alone

-can hear the invisible starfall...

0:06:080:06:11

-..the darkest-before-dawn...

0:06:110:06:13

-..minutely dew grazed stir

-of the black dab-filled sea...

0:06:140:06:18

-..where the Arethusa,

-the Curlew and the Skylark...

0:06:220:06:25

-..Zanzibar, Rhiannon,

-the Rover, the Cormorant...

0:06:250:06:29

-..and the Star of Wales

-tilt and ride.

0:06:290:06:32

-Listen.

0:06:350:06:36

-It is night moving in the streets...

0:06:370:06:39

-slow musical wind...

0:06:390:06:42

-..in Coronation Street

-on Llareggub Hill...

-squat chapel...

0:06:580:07:01

-..hymning in bonnet and brooch

-and bombazine black...

0:07:010:07:05

-..butterfly choker and bootlace bow,

0:07:060:07:10

-..sucking mintoes,

-fortywinking hallelujah...

0:07:100:07:15

-..night in the four-ale,

-quiet as a domino...

0:07:150:07:19

-..in Ocky Milkman's lofts

-like a mouse with gloves...

0:07:190:07:22

-..in Dai Bread's bakery

-flying like black flour.

0:07:230:07:28

-It is tonight in Donkey Street,

-trotting silent...

0:07:290:07:33

-..with seaweed on its hooves,

-along the cockled cobbles...

0:07:330:07:37

-..past curtained fernpot, text and

-trinket, harmonium, holy dresser...

0:07:370:07:42

-..watercolours done by hand,

-china dog and rosy tin teacaddy.

0:07:420:07:48

0:07:590:08:04

0:08:040:08:07

-..with winds gloved

0:08:070:08:10

-and silent black, bandaged night.

0:08:320:08:37

-Only you can see,

-in the blinded bedrooms...

0:08:370:08:41

-..the combs and petticoats over

-the chairs, the jugs and basins...

0:08:410:08:46

-..the glasses of teeth,

-Thou Shalt Not on the wall...

-like two old kippers in a box.

0:20:330:20:39

-Ocky Milkman,

-drowned asleep in Cockle Street...

0:20:440:20:47

-..is emptying his churns

-into the Dewi River.

0:20:480:20:51

-Regardless of expense...

0:20:510:20:52

-Regardless of expense...

-

-..and weeping like a funeral.

0:20:520:20:54

-PC Atilla Rees lumps out of bed...

0:21:030:21:06

-..dead to the dark

-and still foghorning...

0:21:060:21:08

-..and drags out his helmet

-from under the bed.

0:21:090:21:12

-But deep in the backyard lock-up

-of his sleep a mean voice murmurs.

0:21:120:21:17

-You'll be sorry for this

-in the morning.

0:21:170:21:20

-And he heave-ho's back to bed.

-His helmet swashes in the dark.

0:21:210:21:26

-Willy Nilly, postman,

-asleep up street...

0:21:270:21:31

-..walks fourteen miles

-to deliver the post...

0:21:310:21:34

-..as he does

-everyday of the night...

0:21:340:21:37

-..and rat-a-tats hard and sharp

-on Mrs Willy Nilly.

0:21:370:21:41

-Don't spank me, please, teacher...

0:21:410:21:44

-..whimpers his wife at his side...

0:21:440:21:46

-..but every night of her married

-life she has been late for school.

0:21:460:21:52

-Sinbad Sailors, over the taproom

-of the Sailors Arms...

0:21:530:21:57

-..hugs his damp pillow.

0:21:580:22:00

-Gossamer Beynon.

0:22:000:22:02

-And the Inspectors of Cruelty...

0:22:030:22:05

-..fly down

-into Mrs Butcher Beynon's dream...

0:22:050:22:08

-..to persecute Mr Beynon

-for selling...

0:22:080:22:10

-..owlmeat, dogs' eyes, manchop.

0:22:110:22:18

-Mr Beynon,

-in butcher's bloodied apron...

0:22:190:22:22

-..spring-heels

-down Coronation Street...

0:22:220:22:25

-..a finger not his own,

-in his mouth.

0:22:250:22:27

-Straight faced

-in his cunning sleep...

0:22:270:22:29

-..he pulls the legs

-of his dreams and...

0:22:300:22:32

-..hunting on pigback

-shoots down the wild giblets.

0:22:330:22:39

-My foxy darling!

0:22:560:22:58

-Now behind the eyes and secrets

-of the dreamers...

0:23:020:23:05

-..in the streets

-rocked to sleep by the sea...

0:23:060:23:09

-..see the titbits and topsyturvies,

-bobs and buttontops...

0:23:090:23:14

-..bags and bones, ash and rind

-and dandruff and nailparings...

0:23:140:23:18

-..saliva and snowflakes

-and moulted feathers of dreams...

0:23:180:23:22

-..the wrecks and sprats

-and shells and fishbones...

0:23:220:23:25

-..whale-juice and moonshine

-and small salt fry...

0:23:260:23:29

-..dished up by the hidden sea.

0:23:290:23:32

-The owls are hunting.

0:23:340:23:35

-Look, over Bethesda gravestones

-one hoots and swoops...

0:23:360:23:42

-..and catches a mouse

-by Hannah Rees, Beloved Wife.

0:23:420:23:46

-And in Coronation Street,

-which you alone can see...

0:23:480:23:51

-..it is so dark

-under the chapel in the skies...

0:23:510:23:54

-..the Reverend Eli Jenkins,

-poet, preacher...

0:23:540:23:57

-..turns in his deep towards-dawn

-sleep and dreams of...

0:23:570:24:01

-Eisteddfodau.

0:24:010:24:03

-Mr Pugh, schoolmaster,

-fathoms asleep.

0:24:080:24:10

-Murder.

0:24:110:24:13

-Mrs Organ Morgan, groceress,

-coiled grey like a dormouse...

0:24:150:24:20

-..her paws to her ears, conjures...

0:24:200:24:23

-Silence.

0:24:230:24:24

-She sleeps very dulcet

-in a cove of wool...

0:24:240:24:27

-..and trumpeting Organ Morgan

-at her side...

0:24:270:24:30

-..snores no louder than a spider.

0:24:300:24:33

-Mary Ann Sailors dreams of...

0:24:420:24:45

-..the Garden of Eden...

0:24:450:24:46

-..away from the cool scrubbed

-cobbled kitchen...

0:24:510:24:54

-..with the Sunday-school pictures

-on the whitewashed wall...

0:24:540:24:58

-..and the farmers' almanac

-hung above the settle...

0:24:580:25:01

-..and the sides of bacon

-on the ceiling hooks...

0:25:010:25:04

-..and goes down

-the cockleshelled paths...

0:25:050:25:07

-..of that applepie kitchen garden...

0:25:080:25:10

-..ducking under

-the gippo's clothes pegs...

0:25:100:25:12

-..catching her apron

-on the blackcurrant bushes...

0:25:130:25:16

-..past beanrows and onion-bed

-and tomatoes ripening on the wall...

0:25:160:25:20

-..towards the old man playing

-the harmonium in the orchard...

0:25:200:25:24

-..and sits down on the grass at his

-side and shells the green peas...

0:25:240:25:28

-..that grow up through the lap

-of her frock that brushes the dew.

0:25:290:25:33

-In Donkey Street,

-so furred with sleep...

0:25:330:25:36

-..Dai Bread, Polly Garter

-and Nogood Boyo...

0:25:360:25:39

-..before the dawn

-that is about to be and dream of...

0:25:390:25:44

-Harems.

0:25:440:25:46

-Babies.

0:25:460:25:47

-Babies.

-

-Nothing.

0:25:470:25:48

-CLOCK TICKS

0:25:520:25:54

-Time passes.

0:26:010:26:03

-Listen. Time passes.

0:26:060:26:09

-An owl flies home past Bethesda,

-to a chapel in an oak.

0:26:150:26:18

-And the dawn inches up.

0:26:200:26:22

-Stand on this hill.

0:27:010:27:03

-This is Llareggub Hill,

-old as the hills...

0:27:040:27:08

-..high, cool, and green...

0:27:080:27:11

-..and from this small circle

-of stones...

0:27:110:27:14

-..made not by druids

-but by Mrs Beynon's Billy...

0:27:150:27:18

-..you can see all the town below you

-sleeping in the first of the dawn.

0:27:180:27:24

-"Less than five hundred souls

-inhabit the three quaint streets...

0:27:240:27:28

-"..and the few narrow by-lanes

-and scattered farmsteads...

0:27:280:27:31

-"..that constitute this small,

-decaying watering-place...

0:27:320:27:35

-"..which may, indeed, be called

-a 'backwater of life'...

0:27:350:27:38

-"..without dispresect to its natives

-who possess, to this day...

0:27:380:27:41

-"..a salty individuality

-of their own.

0:27:410:27:43

-"The main street, Coronation Street,

-consists, for the most part...

0:27:430:27:46

-"..of humble, two-storied houses

-many of which attempt to achieve...

0:27:460:27:49

-"..some measure of gaiety...

0:27:490:27:51

-"..by prinking themselves out

-in crude colours...

0:27:510:27:53

-"..but on the whole,

-in a sad state of disrepair.

0:27:530:27:56

-"The River Dewi is said to abound

-in trout, but is much poached.

0:27:560:28:00

-"The one place of worship,

-with its neglected graveyard...

0:28:000:28:03

-"..is of no architectural interest."

0:28:030:28:05

-The principality of the sky

-lightens now, over our green hill...

0:28:060:28:12

-..into spring morning

-larked and crowed and belling.

0:28:120:28:17

-Spring morning

-larked and crowed and belling.

0:28:180:28:24

-Spring morning

-larked and crowed and belling.

0:28:240:28:30

-Spring morning

-larked and crowed and belling.

0:28:320:28:38

-The Reverend Eli Jenkins...

0:28:540:28:56

-..gropes out of bed

-into his preacher's black...

0:28:570:28:59

-..combs back

-his bard's white hair...

0:28:590:29:02

-..and hearing the sea break

-and the gab of birds...

0:29:020:29:06

-..remembers his own verses

-and tells them softly...

0:29:060:29:09

-..to empty Coronation Street that

-is rising and raising its blinds.

0:29:090:29:15

-"Dear Gwalia! I know there are

-Towns lovelier than ours

0:29:180:29:24

-"And fairer hills and loftier far

-And groves more full of flowers

0:29:250:29:30

-"And boskier woods

-more blithe with spring

0:29:300:29:32

-"And bright with birds' adorning

-The Reverend Jenkins

-closes the front door.

0:31:420:31:46

-His morning service is over.

0:31:460:31:49

-# I lived by the Castle Keep

0:31:560:31:59

-# Sixpence a week was my wages

0:32:000:32:03

-# Come and sweep my chimbley #

0:32:100:32:13

-Where you get that hair from?

0:32:170:32:19

-Where you get that hair from?

-

-Got it from an old tom cat.

0:32:190:32:21

-Give it back then, love.

0:32:210:32:23

-Oh there's a perm!

0:32:230:32:24

-Where you get that nose from, Lily?

0:32:250:32:27

-Where you get that nose from, Lily?

-

-Got it from my father, silly.

0:32:270:32:28

-You've got it on upside down!

-Oh there's a conk!

0:32:290:32:32

-Look at your complexion!

0:32:330:32:34

-Look at your complexion!

-

-Oh no, you look.

0:32:340:32:37

-Needs a bit of make-up.

0:32:370:32:39

-Needs a veil.

0:32:390:32:40

-Needs a veil.

-

-Oh there's glamour!

0:32:400:32:42

-Where you get that smile, Lil?

0:32:420:32:44

-Where you get that smile, Lil?

-

-Never you mind, girl.

0:32:440:32:45

-Nobody loves you.

0:32:460:32:47

-That's what you think.

0:32:470:32:49

-That's what you think.

-

-Who is it loves you?

0:32:490:32:51

-Shan't tell.

0:32:510:32:53

-Come on, Lily.

0:32:530:32:54

-Come on, Lily.

-

-Cross your heart then?

0:32:540:32:55

-Cross my heart.

0:32:550:32:57

-And very softly, her lips

-almost touching her reflection...

0:32:580:33:03

-..she breathes the name

-and clouds the shaving-glass.

0:33:030:33:06

-Lily!

0:33:060:33:07

-Lily!

-

-Yes, Mam?

0:33:070:33:08

-Where's my tea, girl?

0:33:080:33:10

-Where d'you think? In the cat-box.

-Coming up, Mam!

-Mr Pugh

-in the School House opposite...

0:33:310:33:34

-..takes up the morning tea

-to Mrs Pugh...

0:33:340:33:36

-..and whispers on the stairs...

0:33:370:33:40

-Here's your arsenic, dear.

0:33:400:33:43

-And your weedkiller biscuit.

0:33:460:33:48

-I've throttled your parakeet.

0:33:500:33:53

-I've spat in the vases.

0:33:540:33:56

-I've put cheese in the mouseholes.

0:33:560:33:58

-Here's your...

0:33:580:33:59

-..nice tea, dear.

0:34:000:34:02

-Too much sugar.

0:34:020:34:04

-You haven't tasted it yet, dear.

0:34:050:34:07

-Too much milk, then.

0:34:080:34:09

-Has Mr Jenkins said his poetry?

0:34:100:34:12

-Yes, dear.

0:34:120:34:13

-Then it's time to get up.

-Give me my glasses.

0:34:140:34:17

-No, not my reading glasses,

-I want to look out.

0:34:180:34:23

-I want to see.

0:34:230:34:25

-Lily Smalls the treasure down on her

-red knees washing the front step.

0:34:340:34:38

-She's tucked her dress

-in her bloomers...

0:34:390:34:42

-..oh, the baggage!

0:34:430:34:45

-PC Atilla Rees,

-stamping out of Handcuff House...

0:34:510:34:53

-..in a heavy beef-red huff...

0:34:540:34:57

-..black browed...

0:34:570:35:00

-..under his damp helmet...

0:35:010:35:02

-He's going to arrest Polly Garter,

-mark my words.

0:35:050:35:08

-What for, dear?

0:35:080:35:10

-What for, dear?

-

-For having babies.

0:35:100:35:11

-..and lumbering down

-towards the strand...

0:35:110:35:14

-..to see that the sea

-is still there.

0:35:140:35:16

-Mary Ann Sailors, opening her

-bedroom window above the taproom...

0:35:170:35:20

-..and calling out to the heavens.

0:35:210:35:23

-I'm eighty-five years

-three months and a day!

0:35:230:35:29

-I will say this for her,

-she never makes a mistake.

0:35:300:35:34

-Organ Morgan

-at his bedroom window...

0:35:390:35:42

-..playing chords on the sill

-to the morning fishwife gulls...

0:35:420:35:45

-..who, heckling over Donkey Street,

-observe.

0:35:460:35:48

-Me, Dai Bread, hurrying to the

-bakery, pushing in my shirt-tails...

0:35:490:35:52

-..buttoning my waistcoat

-ping goes a button...

0:35:520:35:55

-..why can't they sew them.

0:35:560:35:57

-No time for breakfast, nothing for

-breakfast, there's wives for you.

0:35:570:36:02

-Me, Mrs Dai Bread One...

0:36:030:36:05

-..capped and shawled...

0:36:060:36:07

-..and no old corset...

0:36:080:36:09

-..nice to be comfy...

0:36:090:36:11

-..nice to be nice...

0:36:120:36:14

-..clogging on the cobbles

-to stir up a neighbour.

0:36:140:36:17

-Me, Mrs Dai Bread Two...

0:36:170:36:19

-..gypsied to kill...

0:36:200:36:21

-..in a silky scarlet petticoat...

0:36:220:36:24

-..above my knees...

0:36:240:36:26

-..high-heel shoes

-with one heel missing...

0:36:270:36:30

-..tortoise shell comb

-in my bright black slinky hair...

0:36:300:36:35

-..nothing else at all...

0:36:350:36:37

-..but a dab of scent...

0:36:380:36:39

-..tell your fortune

-in the tea-leaves...

0:36:390:36:42

-..scowling at the sunshine,

-lighting up my pipe.

0:36:420:36:46

-Me, Nogood Boyo...

0:36:480:36:50

-..up to no good in the wash-house.

0:36:500:36:52

-Me, Miss Price,

-in my pretty print housecoat...

0:36:530:36:56

-..deft at the clothesline,

-natty as a jenny-wren...

0:36:560:37:00

-..then pit-pat back

-to my egg in its cosy...

0:37:000:37:03

-Me, Polly Garter,

-under the washing line...

0:37:030:37:06

-..giving the breast in the garden

-to my bonny new baby.

0:37:060:37:09

-Nothing grows in our garden,

-only washing. And babies.

0:37:090:37:14

-And where's their fathers live,

-my love?

0:37:140:37:17

-Over the hills and far away.

0:37:180:37:21

-Oh, isn't life a terrible thing...

0:37:210:37:24

-..thank God?

0:37:240:37:26

-Now frying-pans spit...

0:37:520:37:53

-..kettles and cats

-purr in the kitchen.

0:37:530:37:57

-The town smells of seaweed

-and breakfast.

0:37:570:38:01

-Willy Nilly postman, downs his

-last bucket of black brackish tea...

0:38:020:38:06

-..and rumbles out bandy

-to the clucking back...

0:38:070:38:10

-..where the hens twitch and grieve

-for their tea-soaked sops.

0:38:100:38:15

-Mrs Willy Nilly, full of tea

-to her double-chinned brim...

0:38:150:38:19

-..broods and bubbles

-over her coven of kettles...

0:38:190:38:22

-..on the hissing hot range

-always ready to steam open the mail.

0:38:220:38:27

-Mr and Mrs Cherry Owen,

-in their Donkey Street room...

0:38:300:38:34

-..that is bedroom,

-parlour, kitchen, and scullery...

0:38:340:38:37

-..sit down to last night's supper.

0:38:380:38:40

-See that smudge on the wall

-by the picture of Auntie Blossom?

0:38:410:38:44

-That's where you threw the sago.

0:38:450:38:47

-You only missed me by a inch.

0:38:480:38:49

-I always miss Auntie Blossom too.

0:38:490:38:52

-Remember last night?

0:38:530:38:55

-In you reeled, my boy,

-as drunk as a deacon...

0:38:550:38:59

-..with a big wet bucket

-and a fish-frail full of stout...

0:38:590:39:03

-..and you looked at me

-and you said...

0:39:030:39:06

-..'God has come home!'

0:39:070:39:10

-You said, and then

-over the bucket you went...

0:39:100:39:14

-..sprawling and bawling...

0:39:140:39:17

-..and the floor

-was all flagons and eels.

0:39:190:39:25

-And then...

0:39:260:39:27

-..you took off your trousers...

0:39:280:39:30

-..and you said...

0:39:300:39:32

-..'Does anybody want a fight!'

0:39:330:39:35

-Oh, you old baboon.

0:39:360:39:39

-Give me a kiss.

0:39:400:39:41

-And then you sang 'Aberystwyth'...

0:39:450:39:48

-..tenor...

0:39:490:39:50

-..and bass.

0:39:560:39:58

-I always sing 'Aberystwyth'.

0:40:010:40:03

-And then you did a little dance

-on the table.

0:40:040:40:07

-I did?

0:40:070:40:08

-I did?

-

-Drop dead!

0:40:080:40:09

-And then what did I do?

0:40:110:40:13

-Then you cried like a baby...

0:40:140:40:16

-..and said

-you were a poor drunk orphan...

0:40:170:40:19

-..with nowhere to go but the grave.

0:40:190:40:21

-And what did I do next, my dear?

0:40:220:40:24

-Then you danced on the table

-all over again...

0:40:240:40:27

-..and said you were King

-Solomon Owen and I was your...

0:40:270:40:31

-..Mrs Sheba.

0:40:310:40:33

-And then?

0:40:330:40:34

-And then I got you into bed...

0:40:370:40:39

-..and you snored all night

-like a brewery.

0:40:400:40:43

-Up the street,

-in the Sailors Arms...

0:40:510:40:53

-..Sinbad Sailors,

-grandson of Mary Ann Sailors...

0:40:530:40:56

-..draws a pint in the sunlit bar.

0:40:570:40:59

-The ship's clock in the bar

-says half past eleven.

0:40:590:41:03

-Half past eleven is opening time.

0:41:030:41:06

-The hands of the clock...

0:41:060:41:08

-..have stayed still

-at half past eleven for fifty years.

0:41:080:41:12

-It is always opening time

-in the Sailors Arms.

0:41:120:41:15

-Here's to me, Sinbad.

0:41:160:41:19

-All over the town,

-babies and old men are cleaned...

0:41:230:41:26

-..and put into their broken prams...

0:41:270:41:30

-..and wheeled

-on to the sunlit cockled cobbles.

0:41:300:41:33

-Noses are wiped, heads picked,

-hair combed, paws scrubbed...

0:41:330:41:37

-..ears boxed, and the children

-shrilled off to school.

0:41:370:41:41

-Nogood Boyo

-goes out in the dinghy Zanzibar...

0:41:420:41:46

-..ships the oars, drifts slowly

-in the dab-filled bay...

0:41:460:41:52

-..and, lying on his back

-in the unbaked water...

0:41:520:41:56

-..among crabs' legs

-and tangled lines...

0:41:560:41:59

-..looks up at the spring sky.

0:41:590:42:02

-I don't know who's up there...

0:42:050:42:07

-..and I don't care.

0:42:080:42:10

-That's Willy Nilly

-knocking at Bay View.

0:42:180:42:20

-Rat-a-tat, very soft.

0:42:210:42:24

-The knocker's got a kid glove on.

0:42:250:42:27

-Who's sent a letter

-to Mrs Ogmore-Pritchard?

0:42:290:42:32

-Careful now...

0:42:330:42:35

-..she swabs the front glassy.

0:42:350:42:38

-Every step's like a bar of soap.

0:42:380:42:41

-Mind your size twelveses.

0:42:410:42:44

-That old Bessie would beeswax

-the lawn to make the birds slip.

0:42:440:42:49

-Morning, Mrs Ogmore-Pritchard.

0:42:500:42:52

-Good morning, postman.

0:42:520:42:54

-Here's a letter for you with stamped

-and addressed envelope enclosed...

0:42:540:42:58

-..all the way from Builth Wells.

0:42:580:43:00

-A gentleman wants to study birds...

0:43:010:43:03

-..and can he have accommodation

-for two weeks and a bath.

0:43:030:43:06

-Vegetarian.

0:43:060:43:08

-No.

0:43:140:43:15

-You wouldn't know he was

-in the house, Mrs Ogmore-Pritchard.

0:43:150:43:18

-He'd be out in the mornings

-at the bang of dawn...

0:43:180:43:21

-..with his bag of breadcrumbs

-and his little telescope...

0:43:210:43:25

-And come home at all hours

-covered with feathers.

0:43:290:43:33

-I don't want persons

-in my nice clean rooms...

0:43:350:43:37

-..breathing all over the chairs...

0:43:370:43:39

-Cross my heart, he won't breathe.

0:43:400:43:42

-..and putting their feet

-on my carpets...

0:43:470:43:49

-..and sneezing on my china...

0:43:490:43:51

-..and sleeping in my sheets...

0:43:530:43:55

-He only wants a single bed,

-Mrs Ogmore...

0:44:000:44:02

-..Pritchard.

0:44:060:44:07

-And back she goes to the kitchen

-to polish the potatoes.

0:44:160:44:20

-One...

0:44:260:44:27

-..two, three, four...

0:44:280:44:30

-..five...

0:44:310:44:32

-That's Mrs Rose Cottage.

0:44:350:44:36

-What's today?

0:44:370:44:39

-Today she gets the letter

-from her sister in Gorslas.

0:44:400:44:44

-How's the twins' teeth?

0:44:440:44:45

-He's stopping at School House.

0:44:480:44:50

-Good morning Mrs Pugh.

0:44:510:44:52

-Mrs Ogmore-Pritchard won't have

-a gentleman in from Builth Wells...

0:44:520:44:56

-..because he'll sleep

-in her sheets.

0:44:560:44:58

-Mrs Rose Cottage's sister

-in Gorslas's twins...

0:44:580:45:01

-..have got to have them out...

0:45:010:45:03

-Give me the parcel.

0:45:030:45:05

-It's for Mr Pugh, Mrs Pugh.

0:45:060:45:08

-It's for Mr Pugh, Mrs Pugh.

-

-Never you mind. What's inside it?

0:45:080:45:10

-A book called

-Lives of the Great Poisoners.

0:45:100:45:14

-Morning, Mr Edwards.

0:45:250:45:27

-Very small news.

0:45:270:45:28

-Mrs Ogmore-Pritchard

-won't have birds in the house...

0:45:290:45:32

-..and Mr Pugh's bought a book now

-on how to do in Mrs Pugh.

0:45:320:45:35

-Have you got a letter from her?

0:45:360:45:37

-Miss Price loves you

-with all her heart.

0:45:400:45:43

-Smelling of lavender today.

0:45:430:45:45

-She's down to the last

-of the elderflower wine...

0:45:460:45:48

-..but the quince jam's bearing up...

0:45:480:45:50

-..and she's knitting roses

-on the doilies.

0:45:510:45:53

-Last week she sold

-three jars of boiled sweets...

0:45:540:45:56

-..pound of humbugs,

-half a box of jellybabies...

0:45:560:45:59

-..and six coloured photos

-of Llareggub.

0:45:590:46:01

-Yours for ever. Then twenty-one X's.

0:46:020:46:04

-Oh, Willy Nilly, she's a ruby!

0:46:070:46:11

-Here's my letter.

0:46:110:46:12

-Put it into her hands now.

0:46:130:46:14

-All the women

-are out this morning, in the sun.

0:46:300:46:33

-You can tell it's Spring.

0:46:350:46:37

-There goes Mrs Cherry...

0:46:380:46:39

-..you can tell her

-by her trotters...

0:46:400:46:42

-..off she trots new as a daisy.

0:46:420:46:45

-Who's that talking by the pump?

0:46:460:46:48

-Mrs Floyd and Boyo,

-talking flatfish.

0:46:490:46:52

-What can you talk about flatfish?

0:46:520:46:54

-High heels now...

0:46:550:46:58

-..in the morning too...

0:46:580:47:00

-..Mrs Rose Cottage's eldest Mae...

0:47:010:47:03

-..seventeen

-and never been kissed ho ho...

0:47:030:47:06

-..going young and milking

-under my window...

0:47:060:47:09

-..to the field

-with the nannygoats...

0:47:090:47:11

-..she reminds me all the way.

0:47:120:47:14

-Can't hear what the women

-are gabbing round the pump.

0:47:160:47:20

-Same as ever.

0:47:210:47:22

-Who's having a baby,

-who blacked whose eye...

0:47:230:47:26

-..seen Polly Garter

-giving her belly an airing...

0:47:260:47:30

-..who's dead, who's dying...

0:47:300:47:33

-..there's a lovely day...

0:47:330:47:35

-..oh the cost of soapflakes!

0:47:350:47:37

-Mrs Ogmore-Pritchard...

0:47:380:47:39

-Mrs Ogmore-Pritchard...

-

-..la di da...

0:47:390:47:40

-..got a man in Builth Wells...

0:47:400:47:42

-..and he got a little telescope

-to look at birds.

0:47:420:47:45

-Willy Nilly said...

0:47:450:47:46

-Willy Nilly said...

-

-Remember her first husband?

0:47:460:47:48

-He didn't need a telescope.

0:47:480:47:50

-He looked at them undressing

-through the keyhole.

0:47:500:47:52

-And he used to shout Tallyho.

0:47:530:47:54

-But Mr Ogmore

-was a proper gentleman.

0:47:550:47:57

-Even though he hanged his collie.

0:47:570:48:00

-Seen Mrs Butcher Beynon?

0:48:000:48:01

-She said Butcher Beynon

-put dogs in the mincer.

0:48:020:48:05

-Go on, he's pulling her leg.

0:48:050:48:07

-Now don't you dare tell her that,

-there's a dear.

0:48:080:48:10

-Or she'll think he's trying

-to pull it off and eat it.

0:48:110:48:14

-There's a nasty lot live here

-when you come to think.

0:48:140:48:17

-Organ Morgan's at it early.

0:48:180:48:19

-You can tell it's Spring...

0:48:200:48:21

-..and he hears

-the noise of milk-cans.

0:48:220:48:24

-And how's Organ Morgan, Mrs Morgan?

0:48:240:48:27

-You look dead beat.

0:48:270:48:29

-It's organ organ all the time

-with him.

0:48:300:48:33

-Up every night until midnight

-playing the organ.

0:48:330:48:36

-Oh, I'm a martyr to music.

0:48:390:48:43

-Somebody's coming.

0:48:490:48:51

-Now the voices round the pump

-can see somebody coming.

0:48:530:48:56

-Hush...

0:48:570:48:58

-..there's a hush!

0:48:590:49:01

-You can tell

-by the noise of the hush...

0:49:040:49:06

-..it's Polly Garter.

0:49:090:49:11

-Hullo, Polly my love...

0:49:320:49:35

-..can you hear

-the dumb goose-hiss of the wives...

0:49:350:49:38

-..as they huddle and peck

-or flounce at a waddle away?

0:49:380:49:43

-Who cuddled you when?

0:49:430:49:45

-Which of their pandering hubbies

-moaned in Milk Wood...

0:49:450:49:49

-..for your naughty mothering arms

-and body like a wardrobe, love?

0:49:500:49:54

-Too late, cock...

0:49:540:49:56

-..too late.

0:49:560:49:57

-For the town's half over

-with its morning.

0:49:580:50:01

-The morning's busy as bees.

0:50:020:50:05

-There's the clip clop of horses...

0:50:050:50:07

-..on the sunhoneyed cobbles

-of the humming streets...

0:50:070:50:11

-..hammering of horse-shoes,

-gobble quack and cackle...

0:50:110:50:15

-..tomtit twitter

-from the bird-ounced boughs...

0:50:160:50:19

-..braying on Donkey Down.

0:50:190:50:21

-Crow caw, pigeon coo,

-clock strike, bull bellow...

0:50:220:50:25

-..and the ragged gabble

-of the beargarden school...

0:50:260:50:29

-..as the women scratch and babble in

-Mrs Organ Morgan's general shop...

0:50:290:50:33

-..where everything is sold:

-custard, buckets...

0:50:340:50:36

-..henna, rat-traps,

-shrimp-nets, sugar...

0:50:370:50:39

-..stamps, confetti, paraffin,

-hatchets, whistles.

0:50:400:50:44

-Evans the Death

-presses hard with black gloves...

0:50:440:50:47

-..on the coffin of his breast

-in case his heart jumps out.

0:50:480:50:52

-Outside, the sun springs down

-on the rough and tumbling town.

0:51:040:51:08

-It runs through the hedges

-of Goosegog Lane...

0:51:080:51:11

-..cuffing the birds to sing.

0:51:110:51:13

-Spring whips green down Cockle Row,

-and the shells ring out.

0:51:130:51:18

-Llareggub this snip of a morning

-is wildfruit and warm...

0:51:200:51:26

-..the streets, fields,

-sands and waters...

0:51:260:51:30

-..springing in the young sun.

0:51:300:51:32

-Spring stirs Gossamer Beynon

-schoolmistress like a spoon.

0:51:380:51:43

-No, I'll take the mulatto,

-by God, who's captain here?

0:51:430:51:48

-Parlez-vous jig jig, Madam?

0:51:490:51:51

-It is Spring in Llareggub

-in the sun in my old age...

0:52:020:52:07

-..and this is the Chosen Land.

0:52:070:52:10

-And this is the Chosen Land.

0:52:240:52:26

-And in Willy Nilly the Postman's

-dark and sizzling...

0:52:480:52:51

-..damp tea-coated

-misty pygmy kitchen...

0:52:520:52:54

-..where the spittingcat kettles

-throb and hop on the range...

0:52:540:52:58

-..Mrs Willy Nilly steams open

-Mr Mog Edwards' letter...

0:52:580:53:01

-..to Miss Myfanwy Price

-and reads it aloud to Willy Nilly...

0:53:010:53:05

-..by the squint of the Spring sun...

0:53:050:53:07

-..through the one sealed window

-running with tears...

0:53:070:53:11

-..while the drugged, bedraggled hens

-at the back door...

0:53:110:53:14

-..whimper and snivel

-for the lickerish bog-black tea.

0:53:140:53:18

-From Manchester House, Llareggub.

0:53:220:53:24

-Sole Prop: Mr Mog Edwards

-(late of Twll)...

0:53:250:53:29

-..Linendraper, Haberdasher...

0:53:290:53:32

-..Master Tailor, Costumier.

0:53:320:53:36

-Beloved Myfanwy Price...

0:53:370:53:38

-..my Bride in Heaven...

0:53:390:53:41

-..I love you

-until Death do us part...

0:53:420:53:45

-..and then we shall be together

-for ever and ever.

0:53:460:53:51

-A new parcel of ribbons

-has come from Carmarthen today...

0:53:550:53:59

-..all the colours in the rainbow.

0:53:590:54:01

-I wish I could tie a ribbon in your

-hair a white one but it cannot be.

0:54:020:54:06

-Polly Garter bought two garters with

-roses but she never got stockings...

0:54:070:54:12

-..so what is the use I say.

0:54:120:54:14

-Mr Waldo tried to sell me

-a woman's nightie outsize...

0:54:150:54:19

-..he said he found it...

0:54:190:54:21

-..and we know where.

0:54:210:54:23

-If this goes on

-I shall be in the workhouse.

0:54:230:54:26

-My heart is in your bosom

-and yours is in mine.

0:54:270:54:30

-God be with you always

-Myfanwy Price...

0:54:310:54:35

-..and keep you lovely for me

-in His Heavenly Mansion.

0:54:350:54:38

-I must stop now and remain,

-Your Eternal, Mog Edwards.

0:54:390:54:44

-And then a little message

-with a rubber stamp.

0:54:450:54:48

-Shop at Mog's!

0:54:490:54:50

-And Willy Nilly, rumbling,

-jockeys out again.

0:54:550:54:59

-Herring gulls

-heckling down to the harbour...

0:55:090:55:12

-..where the fishermen spit

-and prop the morning up...

0:55:120:55:16

-..and eye the fishy sea smooth...

0:55:160:55:20

-..to the sea's end

-as it lulls in blue.

0:55:200:55:24

-But with blue lazy eyes

-the fishermen gaze...

0:55:250:55:28

-..at that milkmaid whispering water

-with no nick or ripple...

0:55:280:55:33

-..as though it blew great guns

-and serpents and typhooned the town.

0:55:330:55:38

-Too rough for fishing today.

0:55:390:55:41

-From one of the finger-bowls

-a primrose grows.

0:55:420:55:46

-Cross my palm with silver.

0:55:460:55:48

-Out of our housekeeping money.

0:55:490:55:51

-Oh.

0:55:560:55:57

-What d'you see, lovie?

0:56:020:56:04

-Oh.

0:56:040:56:05

-I see a featherbed.

-With three pillows on it.

0:56:060:56:09

-And a text above the bed.

0:56:090:56:11

-I can't read what it says,

-there's great clouds blowing.

0:56:110:56:15

-Now they have blown away.

0:56:150:56:17

-God is Love, the text says.

0:56:170:56:20

-That's our bed.

0:56:200:56:21

-That's our bed.

-

-And now it's vanished.

0:56:210:56:23

-The sun's spinning like a top.

0:56:230:56:25

-Who's this coming out of the sun?

0:56:260:56:28

-It's a hairy little man

-with big pink lips.

0:56:280:56:31

-He got a wall eye.

0:56:320:56:33

-He got a wall eye.

-

-It's Dai, it's Dai Bread!

0:56:330:56:35

-Ssh! The featherbed's floating back.

0:56:350:56:38

-The little man's

-taking his boots off.

0:56:380:56:41

-He's climbing into bed.

0:56:410:56:42

-He's climbing into bed.

-

-Go on, go on.

0:56:420:56:44

-There's two women in bed.

0:56:440:56:45

-He looks at them both,

-with his head cocked on one side.

0:56:460:56:49

-He's whistling through his teeth.

0:56:490:56:51

-Now he grips his little arms

-round one of the women.

0:56:520:56:56

-Which one, which one?

0:56:560:56:59

-I can't see any more.

0:57:000:57:02

-There's great clouds blowing again.

0:57:020:57:04

-Ach, the mean old clouds!

0:57:040:57:07

-# I loved a man

0:57:160:57:18

-# Whose name was Tom

0:57:200:57:22

-# He was strong as a bear

0:57:230:57:26

-# And two yards long

0:57:270:57:31

-# I loved a man

0:57:320:57:35

-# Whose name was Dick

0:57:360:57:38

-# He was big as a barrel

0:57:390:57:42

-# And three feet thick

0:57:430:57:47

-# And I loved a man

0:57:480:57:52

-# Whose name was Harry

0:57:530:57:56

-# Six feet tall

0:57:580:58:00

-# And sweet as a cherry

0:58:000:58:04

-# But the one I loved best

0:58:040:58:08

-# Awake or asleep

0:58:090:58:13

-# Was little Willy Wee

0:58:140:58:18

-# And he's six feet deep #

0:58:190:58:27

-Praise the Lord!

0:58:300:58:33

-We are a musical nation.

0:58:350:58:37

-Oh, Mr Waldo!

0:58:500:58:52

-I dote on that Gossamer Beynon.

0:58:530:58:56

-She's a lady...

0:58:570:58:59

-..all over.

0:58:590:59:01

-No lady that I know is.

0:59:020:59:07

-And if only grandma'd die...

0:59:070:59:10

-..cross my heart I'd go down

-on my knees Mr Waldo...

0:59:100:59:14

-..and I'd say...

0:59:140:59:15

-..Miss Gossamer...

0:59:160:59:19

-..I'd say...

0:59:200:59:22

-Gossamer Beynon

-high-heels out of school.

0:59:260:59:30

-The sun hums down...

0:59:310:59:32

-..through the cotton flowers

-of her dress...

0:59:330:59:35

-..into the bell of her heart...

0:59:360:59:38

-..and buzzes in the honey there

-and couches and kisses...

0:59:380:59:42

-..lazy-loving and boozed,

-in her red-berried breast.

0:59:420:59:47

-Eyes run from the trees

-and windows of the street...

0:59:490:59:52

-..steaming 'Gossamer,' and strip her

-to the nipples and the bees.

0:59:530:59:59

-She blazes naked

-past the Sailors Arms.

1:00:001:00:03

-The only woman

-on the Dai-Adamed earth.

1:00:031:00:05

-Sinbad Sailors

-places on her thighs...

1:00:061:00:09

-..still dew-damp from the first

-man-growing cockcrow garden...

1:00:091:00:13

-..his reverent goat-bearded hands.

1:00:131:00:17

-"I don't care if he is common."

1:00:171:00:20

-..she whispers to her salad-day,

-deep self.

1:00:201:00:22

-I want to gobble him up.

1:00:241:00:26

-I don't care

-if he does drop his aitches.

1:00:271:00:29

-She tells the stripped

-and mother-of-the-world...

1:00:291:00:33

-..big-beamed and Eve-hipped

-spring of her self.

1:00:331:00:37

-So long as he's all cucumber

-and hooves.

1:00:371:00:41

-Oh, beautiful...

1:00:431:00:47

-..beautiful...

1:00:471:00:48

-..Gossamer B.

1:00:481:00:51

-I wish, I wish that you were for me.

1:00:521:00:57

-I wish you were not so...

1:00:581:01:02

-..educated.

1:01:031:01:05

-She feels his goatbeard tickle her

-in the middle of the world...

1:01:081:01:12

-..like a tuft of wiry fire, and

-she turns in a terror of delight...

1:01:121:01:16

-..away from his whips

-and whiskery conflagration...

1:01:161:01:19

-..and sits down in the kitchen

-to a plate heaped high.

1:01:201:01:25

-Persons with manners

-do not read at table.

1:01:381:01:42

-Some persons

-were brought up in pigsties.

1:01:491:01:52

-Pigs don't read at table, dear.

1:01:541:01:58

-Pigs can't read, my dear.

1:01:591:02:02

-I know one who can.

1:02:061:02:08

-Alone in the hissing laboratory

-of his wishes...

1:02:101:02:14

-..Mr Pugh minces

-among bad vats and jeroboams...

1:02:141:02:18

-..tiptoes through spinneys

-of murdering herbs...

1:02:191:02:22

-..agony dancing in his crucibles...

1:02:221:02:25

-..and mixes especially

-for Mrs Pugh...

1:02:261:02:28

-..a venomous porridge

-unknown to toxicologists...

1:02:291:02:32

-..which will scald

-and viper through her...

1:02:331:02:37

-..until her ears

-fall off like figs...

1:02:371:02:40

-..her toes grow big and black

-as balloons...

1:02:401:02:43

-..and steam

-comes screaming out of her navel.

1:02:431:02:46

-You know best, dear...

1:02:471:02:48

-What's that book by your trough,

-Mr Pugh?

1:02:531:02:56

-It's a theological work, my dear.

1:02:561:02:58

-Lives of the Great...

1:03:001:03:01

-..Saints.

1:03:041:03:05

-I saw you talking to a saint

-this morning.

1:03:091:03:12

-Saint Polly Garter.

1:03:121:03:15

-She was martyred again last night.

1:03:151:03:18

-Mrs Organ Morgan

-saw her with Mr Waldo.

1:03:181:03:22

-But you don't go nesting in long

-combinations I said to myself...

1:03:271:03:31

-..like Mr Waldo was wearing...

1:03:311:03:33

-..and your dress nearly over

-your head like Polly Garter's.

1:03:331:03:37

-Oh, they didn't fool me.

1:03:381:03:40

-It isn't the right kind of hobby at

-all for a woman that can't say No...

1:03:431:03:47

-..even to midgets.

1:03:471:03:49

-Remember Bob Spit?

1:03:491:03:50

-He wasn't any bigger than a baby...

1:03:501:03:52

-..and he gave her two.

1:03:531:03:54

-But they're two nice boys,

-I will say that...

1:03:561:04:01

-..Fred Spit and Arthur.

1:04:011:04:03

-Sometimes...

1:04:071:04:08

-..I like Fred best...

1:04:081:04:10

-..and sometimes I like Arthur.

1:04:111:04:13

-Who do you like best, Organ?

1:04:161:04:18

-Oh, Bach...

1:04:181:04:20

-..without any doubt.

1:04:201:04:22

-Bach every time for me.

1:04:221:04:24

-Organ Morgan...

1:04:261:04:28

-..you haven't been listening

-to a word I said.

1:04:281:04:31

-It's organ, organ

-all the time with you.

1:04:311:04:35

-And then...

1:04:361:04:37

-..Palestrina.

1:04:411:04:42

-Captain Cat, at his window

-thrown wide to the sun...

1:05:091:05:12

-..and the clippered seas

-he sailed long ago...

1:05:131:05:16

-..when his eyes

-were blue and bright...

1:05:161:05:18

-..slumbers and voyages;

-ear-ringed and rolling.

1:05:181:05:22

-I Love You Rosie Probert

-tattooed on his belly...

1:05:251:05:28

-..he brawls with broken bottles...

1:05:291:05:32

-..in the fug and babel

-of the dark dock bars...

1:05:331:05:36

-..roves with a herd

-of short and good time cows...

1:05:361:05:39

-..in every naughty

-port and twines and souses...

1:05:401:05:42

-..with the drowned

-and blowzy-breasted dead.

1:05:431:05:45

-He weeps as he sleeps and sails.

1:05:461:05:50

-One voice of all he remembers most

-dearly as his dream buckets down.

1:05:511:05:55

-Lazy early Rosie

-with the flaxen thatch...

1:05:581:06:02

-..whom he shared with Tom-Fred the

-donkeyman and many another seaman...

1:06:021:06:08

-..clearly and near to him

-speaks from the bedroom of her dust.

1:06:081:06:13

-In that gulf and haven,

-fleets by the dozen have anchored...

1:06:141:06:18

-..for the little heaven

-of the night...

1:06:191:06:21

-..but she speaks

-to Captain napping Cat alone.

1:06:211:06:27

-Mrs Probert...

1:06:271:06:29

-From Duck Lane, Jack.

1:06:291:06:31

-Quack twice...

1:06:321:06:34

-..and ask for Rosie.

1:06:341:06:36

-..is the one love of his sea-life

-that was sardined with women.

1:06:371:06:42

-What seas did you see,

-Tom Cat, Tom Cat...

1:06:431:06:47

-..in your sailoring days

-long long ago?

1:06:481:06:51

-What sea beasts

-were in the wavery green...

1:06:511:06:56

-..when you were my master?

1:06:571:07:01

-I'll tell you the truth.

1:07:031:07:05

-Seas barking like seals,

-blue seas and green.

1:07:051:07:10

-Seas covered with eels

-and mermen and whales.

1:07:111:07:16

-Knock twice, Jack, at the door

-of my grave and ask for Rosie.

1:07:181:07:25

-Remember her.

1:07:271:07:28

-She is forgetting.

1:07:291:07:30

-The earth which filled her mouth

-is vanishing from her.

1:07:321:07:35

-Remember me.

1:07:371:07:38

-I have forgotten you.

1:07:391:07:42

-I am going into the darkness

-of the darkness for ever.

1:07:431:07:47

-I have forgotten

-that I was ever born.

1:07:491:07:52

-Up the silences and echoes of the

-passages of the eternal night...

1:07:561:08:00

-..and then she forgets him too.

1:08:011:08:04

-Boyo catches a whalebone corset.

1:08:101:08:13

-It is all he has caught all day.

1:08:131:08:16

-She's wearing her nightgown.

1:08:201:08:22

-Would you like this nice wet corset,

-Mrs Dai Bread Two?

1:08:221:08:25

-No, I won't!

1:08:261:08:27

-And a bite of my little apple?

1:08:281:08:30

-He offers with no hope.

1:08:301:08:32

-I want to be good Boyo,

-but nobody'll let me.

1:08:331:08:37

-He sighs as she writhes politely.

1:08:381:08:41

-The land fades,

-the sea flocks silently away...

1:08:421:08:45

-..and through the warm white cloud

-where he lies, silky, tingling...

1:08:471:08:52

-..uneasy Eastern music

-undoes him in a Japanese minute.

1:08:521:08:56

-Now the town is dusk.

1:09:031:09:05

-Each cobble, donkey, goose

-and gooseberry street...

1:09:061:09:09

-..is a thoroughfare of dusk...

1:09:101:09:12

-..and dusk and ceremonial dust

-and night's first darkening snow...

1:09:121:09:18

-..the sleep of birds, drift under

-and through the live dusk...

1:09:181:09:23

-..of this place of love.

1:09:241:09:26

-Llareggub is the capital of dusk.

1:09:271:09:30

-Mrs Ogmore-Pritchard who,

-maddened by besoming...

1:09:341:09:37

-..swabbing and scrubbing,

-the voice of the vacuum-cleaner...

1:09:371:09:41

-..and the fume of polish

-ironically swallowed disinfectant...

1:09:421:09:46

-..fidgets in her rinsed sleep, wakes

-in a dream and nudges in the ribs...

1:09:461:09:51

-..dead Mr Ogmore, dead Mr Pritchard,

-ghostly on either side.

1:09:511:09:55

-Mr Ogmore!

1:09:571:09:59

-Mr Pritchard!

1:09:591:10:01

-It is time to inhale your balsam.

1:10:031:10:05

-Oh, Mrs Ogmore!

1:10:071:10:08

-Oh, Mrs Pritchard!

1:10:091:10:11

-Soon it will be time to get up.

1:10:141:10:16

-Tell me your tasks...

1:10:171:10:18

-..in order.

1:10:201:10:21

-I must put my pyjamas

-in the drawer marked pyjamas.

1:10:211:10:24

-I must take my cold bath

-which is good for me.

1:10:241:10:27

-I must wear my flannel band

-to ward off sciatica.

1:10:271:10:30

-I must dress behind the curtain

-and put on my apron.

1:10:321:10:36

-I must blow my nose.

1:10:361:10:37

-In the garden, if you please.

1:10:381:10:40

-In a piece of tissue-paper

-which I afterwards burn.

1:10:421:10:46

-I must take my salts

-which are nature's friend.

1:10:461:10:49

-I must boil the drinking water

-because of germs.

1:10:511:10:53

-I must make my herb tea

-which is free from tannin.

1:10:541:10:57

-And have a charcoal biscuit

-which is good for me.

1:10:571:10:59

-I may smoke one pipe

-of asthma mixture.

1:11:001:11:02

-In the woodshed, if you please.

1:11:021:11:05

-And dust the parlour

-and spray the canary.

1:11:051:11:09

-I must put on rubber gloves

-and search the peke for fleas.

1:11:101:11:13

-I must dust the blinds

-and then I must raise them.

1:11:151:11:18

-And before you let the sun in...

1:11:191:11:22

-..mind it wipes its shoes.

1:11:241:11:26

-I'm fast.

1:11:401:11:42

-I'm a bad lot.

1:11:431:11:44

-God will strike me dead.

1:11:451:11:47

-I'll go to hell.

1:11:471:11:49

-You just wait.

1:11:491:11:50

-I'll sin till I blow up!

1:11:511:11:53

-Down in the dusking town,

-Mae Rose Cottage...

1:11:541:11:57

-..still lying in clover

-listens to the nannygoats chew...

1:11:571:12:01

-..draws circles of lipstick

-round her nipples.

1:12:011:12:04

-"Every morning when I wake,

-Dear Lord, a little prayer I make

1:12:101:12:15

-"O please to keep Thy lovely eye

-on all poor creatures born to die

1:12:181:12:23

-"And every evening at sun-down

-I ask a blessing on the town

1:12:261:12:31

-"For whether we last the night or no

-I'm sure is always touch-and-go

1:12:341:12:41

-"We are not wholly bad or good

-who live our lives under Milk Wood

1:12:461:12:52

-"And Thou, I know, wilt be the first

-to see our best side, not our worst

1:12:551:13:01

-"O let us see another day!

-Bless us all this night, I pray

1:13:031:13:09

-"And to the sun we all will bow

1:13:111:13:14

-"And say, good-bye

-but just for now!"

1:13:151:13:21

-And Lily Smalls is up to Nogood Boyo

-in the wash-house.

1:13:301:13:33

-And Cherry Owen, sober as Sunday

-as he is every day of the week...

1:13:371:13:40

-..goes off happy as Saturday

-to get drunk as a deacon...

1:13:411:13:45

-..as he does every night.

1:13:451:13:47

-I always say she's got two husbands,

-one drunk and one sober.

1:13:481:13:52

-And aren't I a lucky woman?

-Because I love them both.

1:13:531:13:57

-Evening, Cherry.

1:13:571:13:58

-Evening, Cherry.

-

-Evening, Sinbad.

1:13:581:13:59

-What'll you have?

1:14:001:14:00

-What'll you have?

-

-Too much.

1:14:001:14:02

-The Sailors Arms is always open...

1:14:021:14:05

-Sinbad suffers to himself,

-heartbroken.

1:14:051:14:08

-Oh, Gossamer...

1:14:111:14:13

-..open yours!

1:14:151:14:17

-Dusk is drowned for ever

-until tomorrow.

1:14:201:14:22

-It is all at once night now.

1:14:231:14:25

-The windy town

-is a hill of windows...

1:14:261:14:29

-..and from the larrupped waves...

1:14:291:14:31

-..the lights of the lamps

-in the windows...

1:14:311:14:34

-..call back the day and the dead

-that have run away to sea.

1:14:341:14:37

-All over the calling dark...

1:14:381:14:40

-..babies and old men

-are bribed and lullabied to sleep.

1:14:411:14:45

-Or their daughters cover up the

-old unwinking men like parrots...

1:14:591:15:03

-..and in their little dark

-in the lit...

1:15:041:15:08

-..and bustling

-young kitchen corners...

1:15:081:15:11

-..all night long they watch,

-beady-eyed the long night through...

1:15:111:15:16

-..in case death catches them asleep.

1:15:161:15:18

-Unmarried girls, alone in

-their privately bridal bedrooms...

1:15:221:15:27

-..powder and curl

-for the Dance of the World.

1:15:271:15:31

-Llareggub Hill,

-that mystic tumulus...

1:15:481:15:53

-..the memorial of peoples that

-dwelt in the region of Llareggub...

1:15:541:15:58

-..before the Celts

-left the Land of Summer.

1:15:581:16:01

1:16:481:16:51

-# Was parsnips gin and watercress

1:16:521:16:55

-# Come and sweep my chimbley

-and Miss Myfanwy Price...

1:18:011:18:04

-..happily apart from one another...

1:18:041:18:08

-..at the top

-and the sea end of the town...

1:18:081:18:12

-..write their everynight letters...

1:18:121:18:15

-..of love and desire.

1:18:151:18:17

-at her own neat never-dull room...

1:18:281:18:32

-..which Mr Mog Edwards

-will never enter.

1:18:331:18:36

-Come to my arms, Myfanwy.

1:18:361:18:39

-hugs his lovely Polly Garter...

1:18:401:18:45

-..under the eyes

-and rattling tongues...

1:18:461:18:48

-..of the neighbours and the birds,

-and he does not care.

1:18:481:18:51

-He smacks his live red lips.

1:18:521:18:55

-But it is not his name

-that Polly Garter whispers...

1:18:561:19:00

-..as she lies under the oak

-and loves him back.
