Dylan Thomas’s first love letter is being auctioned. An excerpt: “I don’t want you for a day (though I’d sell my toes to see you now my dear, only for a minute, to kiss you once and make a funny face at you): a day is the length of a gnat’s life: I want you for the lifetime of a big, mad animal, like an elephant.” Couldn’t Dylan settle on slicing off his ear?
