Dylan Thomas
To begin at the beginning: It is a spring moonless night in the small town, starless and bible-black.
Dylan Thomas
Beginning with doom in the bulb, the spring unravels.
Dylan Thomas
I used to think that once a writer became a man of letters, if only for a half hour, he was done for. And here I am now, at the very moment of such an odious, though respectable, danger.
Dylan Thomas
My education was the liberty I had to read indiscriminately and all the time, with my eyes hanging out.
