Dylan Thomas
... an ugly, lovely town ... crawling, sprawling ... by the side of a long and splendid curving shore. This sea-town was my world.
Dylan Thomas
My tears are like the quiet drift of petals from some magic rose and all my grief flows from the rift of unremembered skies and snows. I think that if I touched the earth, it would crumble it is so sad and beautiful, so tremulously like a dream.
Dylan Thomas
... Rebel against the flesh and bone, The word of the blood, the wily skin, And the maggot no man can slay.
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
In the beginning was the word, the word That from the solid bases of the light Abstracted all the letters of the void.
Dylan Thomas
A horrid alcoholic explosion scatters all my good intentions like bits of limbs and clothes over the doorsteps and into the saloon bars of the tawdriest pubs.
Dylan Thomas

Dylan Thomas
A truly comic, invented world must live at the same time as the world we live in.
Dylan Thomas
Life always offers you a second chance. is called tomorrow.
Dylan Thomas

Dylan Thomas
Rhianon, he said, hold my hand, Rhianon. She did not hear him, but stood over his bed and fixed him with an unbroken sorrow. Hold my hand, he said, and then: why are your putting the sheet over my face?
Dylan Thomas
Oh, isn't life a terrible thing, thank God?
Dylan Thomas
These poems, with all their crudities, doubts, and confusions, are written for the love of Man and in praise of God, and I'd be a damn' fool if they weren't.
Dylan Thomas
You wouldn't think such a place as San Francisco could exist. The wonderful sunlight there, the hills, the great bridges, the Pacific at your shoes. Beautiful Chinatown. Every race in the world. The sardine fleets sailing out. The little cable-cars whizzing down The City hills. And all the people are open and friendly.
Dylan Thomas
Families, like countries, take their prophets unkindly, but a verse-speaker in the house is dishonor to be hooted.
Dylan Thomas
Do not go gently into that good night but rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Dylan Thomas
I've just had eighteen straight whiskies. I think that's the record.
Dylan Thomas
And death shall have no dominion. Under the windings of the sea They lying long shall not die windily Twisting on racks when sinews give way, Strapped to a wheel, yet they shall not break Faith in their hands shall snap in two, And the unicorn evils run them through Split all ends up they shan't crack And death shall have no dominion.
Dylan Thomas
This world is half the devil's and my own, Daft with the drug that's smoking in a girl and curling round the bud that forks her eye.
