Well I might just cry. Sometimes you pull a proof away from the block for the first time and you think, 'O my, I just made something truly beautiful -- I and my heart'. I realise now there is more poetry in engraving than all the poems I have ever written.

First proof of 'Eglwys Cwyfan', engraved from pear wood and pressed with a silver spoon to Somerset Satin paper. I'll hopefully have the edition on my website next week.
