More quotes by Dylan Thomas
Hands have not tears to flow.
Dylan Thomas
A good poem is a contribution to reality.
Dylan Thomas
[I'm]a freak user of words, not a poet.
Dylan Thomas
Though lovers be lost love shall not.
Dylan Thomas
A truly comic, invented world must live at the same time as the world we live in.
Dylan Thomas
When logics die, The secret of the soil grows through the eye, And blood jumps in the sun Above the waste allotments the dawn halts.
Dylan Thomas
Washington isn't a city, it's an abstraction.
Dylan Thomas
The closer I move To death, one man through his sundered hulks, The louder the sun blooms And the tusked, ramshackling sea exults.
Dylan Thomas
Break in the sun till the sun breaks down, And death shall have no dominion.
Dylan Thomas
This poem has been called obscure. I refuse to believe that it is obscurer than pity, violence, or suffering. But being a poem, not a lifetime, it is more compressed.
Dylan Thomas
Do not go gently into that good night but rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Dylan Thomas
Though they go mad they shall be sane, though they sink through the sea they shall rise again though lovers be lost love shall not and death shall have no dominion.
Dylan Thomas
Rage, rage against the dying light
Dylan Thomas
After the first death, there is no other.
Dylan Thomas
Oh, isn't life a terrible thing, thank God?
Dylan Thomas
I have just had eighteen whiskeys in a row. I do believe that is a record.
Dylan Thomas
Beginning with doom in the bulb, the spring unravels.
Dylan Thomas
Families, like countries, take their prophets unkindly, but a verse-speaker in the house is dishonor to be hooted.
Dylan Thomas
Reading one's own poems aloud is letting the cat out of the bag. You may have always suspected bits of a poem to be overweighted, overviolent, or daft, and then, suddenly, with the poet's tongue around them, your suspicion is made certain.
Dylan Thomas
You just wait. I'll sin 'til I blow up!
Dylan Thomas
