R. S. Thomas, (March 29, 1913 to September 25, 2000)was a modern Welsh poet born in Cardiff. He was kind of like Tolstoy in that his living conditions were primitive, as a principle, although he depended on his wife to ameliorate them, rather than obtaining modern conveniences. And like Tolstoy, he has a genius for language Here is a sample:
"The cat and the sea"
It is a matter of a black cat
On a bare cliff top in March
Whose eyes anticipate
The gorse petals;
The formal equation of
A domestic purr
With the cold interiors
Of the sea's mirror.
