THE GREEN FUSE by GERALDUS JOHN


Dylan Thomas describes the force that through the green fuse drives the flower.

'The force that through the green fuse drives the flower
Drives my green age; that blasts the roots of trees
Is my destroyer.
And I am dull to tell the crooked rose
My youth is bent by the same wintry flower'

The fuse is both creator and destroyer.
