Today marks the 23rd anniversary of Ted Hughes’ death! RIP!


Edward James Hughes 
(17 August 1930, Mytholmroyd, England – 28 October 1998, London, England)

“The world’s decay where the wind’s hands have passed,
And my head, worn out with love, at rest
In my hands, and my hands full of dust,”

―Ted Hughes, from“Song”, inThe Hawk in the Rain, 1957
