Quote

The only sea I saw Was the seesaw sea With you riding on it. Lie down, lie easy. Let me shipwreck in your thighs.

To begin at the beginning: It is a spring moonless night in the small town, starless and bible-black.
Dylan Thomas
Image
It snowed last year too: I made a snowman and my brother knocked it down and I knocked my brother down and then we had tea.

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
Image
And time cast forth my mortal creature To drift or drown upon the seas Acquainted with the salt adventure Of tides that never touch the shores. - I who was rich was made the richer By sipping at the the vine of days.
Dylan Thomas
Image
Poetry is the rhythmic, inevitably narrative, movement from an overclothed blindness to a naked vision that depends in its intensity on the strength of the labour put into the creation of the poetry.
Dylan Thomas
Image
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
Image
Out of the sighs a little comes, But not of grief, for I have knocked down that Before the agony the spirit grows, Forgets, and cries A little comes, is tasted and found good.
Dylan Thomas
Image
Oh, isn't life a terrible thing, thank God?
Dylan Thomas
Image
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
Image
I've just had eighteen straight whiskies. I think that's the record.
Dylan Thomas
Image
Break in the sun till the sun breaks down, And death shall have no dominion.
Dylan Thomas
Image
I hold a beast, an angel, and a madman in me, and my enquiry is as to their working, and my problem is their subjugation and victory, down throw and upheaval, and my effort is their self-expression.
Dylan Thomas
Image
Seventeen whiskeys. A record, I think.
Dylan Thomas
Image
[I'm]a freak user of words, not a poet.
Dylan Thomas
Image
He who seeks rest finds boredom. He who seeks work finds rest.
Dylan Thomas
Image
And I rose In rainy autumn And walked abroad in a shower of all my days.
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.

A springful of larks in a rolling Cloud and the roadside bushes brimming with whistling Blackbirds and the sun of October Summery On the hill's shoulder.
Dylan Thomas

A truly comic, invented world must live at the same time as the world we live in.

You just wait. I'll sin 'til I blow up!
