Thought for today:
" As I awake the day following my wedding to Sheila, I am conscious that my own particular happiness is blended with thoughts of Remembrance Sunday. I may have written over 50 books, but I have only written one poem. It is entitled, 'Arthur and Guinevere' and tells of those women whose sweethearts went off to war with dreams of getting married when they returned. When their men were killed in battle and their life's dreams squashed, these spinsters lived out the rest of their lives with their own recollections, thinking of 'what might have been.' For them there was no widow's pension; not even the sympathy of the next door neighbour, especially for those who had conceived during those final days together.I dedicate 'Arthur and Guinevere' to all of these ladies who were never to marry like myself.
